Anthropic has launched Claude Sheets, a spreadsheet you build together with its Claude AI, along with Claude Whiteboards and an upgraded Claude Data tool. Announced on 10 November 2026, Sheets and Whiteboards are in beta on Claude’s paid plans (Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise), while Claude Meetings, which lets Claude join a video call and take notes, is coming next. It is Anthropic’s biggest move yet into the office software space led by Microsoft and Google.
Quick summary
- Claude Sheets (beta): collaborative spreadsheets with multiple tabs and formulas that Claude helps build and edit.
- Claude Whiteboards (beta): a shared board for brainstorming that Claude can summarise.
- Claude Data: the renamed Dashboards tool, now able to use certified company data definitions.
- Claude Meetings: coming soon; Claude joins a call, takes notes and updates your team’s documents.
- Who gets it: Sheets and Whiteboards are listed for Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise, not the Free plan.
What is Claude Sheets?
Claude Sheets is a new type of document inside Claude where you and your team build spreadsheets together with the AI. Anthropic says you can organise data, create and edit formulas, and work across multiple tabs. Instead of starting from a blank grid, you can describe what you need, such as a monthly budget or a sales tracker, and let Claude set it up before you refine it.
That makes it different from add-ons such as Claude for Excel or Claude in Google Sheets, which work inside other companies’ apps. Claude Sheets lives in Claude itself, alongside the Docs and Slides already available there.

Which Claude plans get Claude Sheets?
According to Anthropic’s plans page at the time of writing, Docs and Slides are on every plan, but the new Sheets and Whiteboards betas are for paying users only.
| App | Free | Pro | Max | Team | Enterprise |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Docs | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Slides | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Sheets (beta) | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Whiteboards (beta) | No | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| Meetings | Coming soon, plans not yet listed | ||||
Reports from the launch say Claude Meetings will start with Team and Enterprise customers and Google Meet, will show Claude as a visible participant, and will leave a call if an outside guest joins, unless an admin allows it. Anthropic has not yet published those details on its own pages, so treat them as reported, not confirmed.
How to try Claude Sheets
- Sign in to Claude on the web, desktop app or mobile app with a Pro, Max, Team or Enterprise account.
- Start a new chat and ask for a spreadsheet, for example: “Make a sheet to track monthly office expenses with categories and a total.”
- Claude creates the sheet; open it to edit cells, add tabs or ask Claude to add formulas.
- Share it with your team so everyone, including Claude, can work on it together.
- Because it is a beta, check important formulas and totals yourself before relying on them.
If you don’t see it yet, the beta may still be reaching your account. Business admins on Team or Enterprise plans may also need to turn it on.
Why this matters for Indian businesses
Many small and mid-sized businesses in India run on spreadsheets, from GST registers to stock and sales trackers. An AI that can build the first draft of a tracker and explain each formula could save hours, but data privacy still matters: avoid pasting passwords, bank details or customer personal data into any AI tool unless your company has approved it. If you already run your office on Microsoft 365 or Google Workspace, compare whether the AI features there meet your needs before adding another tool. Businesses that need help with this can look at Suprams’ Google Workspace services.

Frequently asked questions
Is Claude Sheets free?
No. Anthropic lists Claude Sheets (beta) for the Pro, Max, Team and Enterprise plans, not the Free plan.
Is Claude Sheets a replacement for Excel or Google Sheets?
Not yet for most businesses. It is a beta focused on building spreadsheets with AI help, while Excel and Google Sheets remain far more mature for large files and advanced features.
What is Claude Whiteboards?
It is a shared digital whiteboard inside Claude where a team lays out ideas, then asks Claude to summarise the findings. It is in beta on paid plans.
When is Claude Meetings available?
Anthropic lists Claude Meetings as coming soon and has not given a date or plan list on its own pages.
The bottom line
Claude Sheets and Whiteboards turn Claude from a chatbot into a workspace that competes with Microsoft and Google’s office tools. If you are on a paid Claude plan, try Sheets for quick trackers and budgets, but double-check results while it is in beta. Free users will need to upgrade, and Claude Meetings is still on the way.
