Anthropic unveiled Claude Meetings on November 10, 2026, a new workplace feature that allows its AI assistant to join Google Meet video calls as a visible participant. Unlike traditional meeting transcription tools that generate summaries after calls end, Claude Meetings performs real-time tasks during discussions. While meetings are ongoing, Claude can draft project plans, create timelines on shared whiteboards, answer questions in the meeting chat, and retrieve information from connected workplace applications. The feature launches in beta for Team and Enterprise subscribers. Alongside Claude Meetings, Anthropic also introduced Claude Whiteboards for collaborative brainstorming and Claude Sheets for spreadsheet creation. The company included safeguards such as automatic identification in chat and automatic exit if external participants join without approval. Anthropic is competing with established office software providers like Microsoft and Google, as well as meeting intelligence startups.
