Claude can now build spreadsheets and whiteboards, in beta

Claude can now build a spreadsheet with tabs, formulas and formatting from a single prompt, and a team edits it alongside the chatbot. Anthropic introduced Claude Sheets and Claude Whiteboards on Tuesday, both in beta, and moved Claude Data to general availability.

All three come with any paid plan and run on web, desktop and mobile. Sheets flags every cell change Claude makes and exports to .xlsx or CSV. Whiteboards is a shared board where Claude sorts out the output of a brainstorm. Data, formerly Claude Dashboards, pulls from a data warehouse or a CRM and answers with dashboards, data stories or narrated videos.

Anthropic calls Sheets "simple spreadsheet functionality" and says more is coming. Anyone who needs the full range of Excel is pointed to the Claude for Excel add-in. The company publishes no limits on sheet size or formulas, and no outside party has tested how well an exported .xlsx file holds up.

How it differs by plan:

• Team: all three are on by default.
• Enterprise: Sheets and Whiteboards ship turned off, and an administrator switches them on under Organization settings, in the Artifacts section.
• Claude Data: certified queries and live sharing remain in beta.

Claude Data works with Amazon Redshift, BigQuery and ClickHouse, and lists Amplitude, Mixpanel, Omni, PostHog and Sigma as partners.

Anthropic gave no specific price, did not say whether Sheets usage counts against plan limits, and made no mention of Mexico, languages or regional availability. Its second announcement adds interactive connectors, which let third-party apps open inside Claude, and says "Claude Meetings is coming soon."

A beta integration with Google Docs, Sheets and Slides has been around since October. Now the spreadsheets live inside Claude, which puts it closer to Excel and Google Sheets territory.

For Enterprise organizations, Claude Data switches on by default on Nov. 19.
