Anthropic on Tuesday launched a suite of office productivity tools designed to bring its Claude AI to knowledge workers across the corporate workplace, extending beyond the software engineering market that its Claude Code product has already transformed. The lineup includes Claude Meetings, Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets, Claude Data, and new Claude Connectors.

The new products are an important part of Anthropic's effort to broaden its base of paying customers and boost its revenue as it moves closer to a widely anticipated initial public stock offering. The company separately revealed on Tuesday that the IPO, which could value Anthropic at roughly $1.4 trillion, is scheduled for as soon as next week.

To build momentum around the launch, Anthropic held a buzzy launch event in San Francisco on Tuesday with hundreds of guests. Chief Product Officer Ami Vora said on stage that Claude has changed computer coding over the past year: engineers can now delegate entire tasks to AI, while the work of most other teams has largely stayed the same, apart from perhaps an email getting written faster or a meeting being summarized.

The new products aim to bring the same AI benefits that programmers have enjoyed "for over a year," Vora said, to knowledge workers across corporations. Anthropic's renewed push to attract corporate knowledge workers could put the company in closer competition with other software vendors such as Microsoft, whose shares were down more than 2% after the news was announced. Microsoft has already embedded its Copilot assistant into Office apps such as Word, Excel, and Teams, while Google has been adding Gemini features across Workspace — meaning Anthropic's lineup lands in a market where the established productivity vendors are racing to put their own AI assistants in front of office workers.

Claude as a teammate

Anthropic's vision is to turn Claude into an active member of a team rather than an optimization tool for individuals. With Claude Meetings, professionals can add Claude to video calls as a "visible participant," Anthropic said. The AI listens to the conversation and can "start on the work while people are still talking." It lays out the proposed plan and timeline, answers questions in the call chat, and handles tasks such as pulling up last year's numbers, using "the work apps people have connected," according to the company. Results surface in claude.ai after the call.

Claude Meetings is in beta for Team and Enterprise plans, starting with Google Meet, with plans to expand to other video platforms.

With Claude Whiteboards, humans can brainstorm ideas and collaborate with Claude. "A team talks through a messy plan out loud, and Claude turns it into a board with a timeline, owners and dates," Anthropic said. Claude Sheets works the same way: spreadsheets that teams can build and edit alongside Claude, with the ability to export to Excel or CSV files. Both products are also in beta.

If these products can automate a meaningful portion of non-coding roles, they could encourage more businesses to sign up for Claude subscription plans. However, they could also create mayhem or burn tokens on AI-generated materials that never get used.

Embedding Claude in critical business functions

Anthropic is also seeking ways to embed Claude deeply into critical business operations. A product called Claude Data, formerly Claude Dashboards, connects the AI to the systems where companies keep their most important numbers, such as a data warehouse or CRM. Claude Data became available for paid plans on Tuesday.

Similarly, new Claude Connectors "link Claude to the apps a company already uses, so Claude can pull information from them and take actions in them," Anthropic said. More than 9,000 apps are available as Claude Connectors, including Salesforce and Workday. "Teams already do much of their work in apps like these," the company said. "Now they can open the full app beside the conversation and ask Claude to work in it with them."

That means "no more switching tabs," said Nicholas Lin, who leads product for knowledge work at Anthropic, on stage at the event.

The road to the IPO

Tuesday's launch event came on the same day as Anthropic kicked off its pre-IPO roadshow with investors. The idea of Claude revolutionizing non-coding roles in the same way it has done for coding could energize the IPO and drive up the share price. According to Fortune, several sources the publication spoke with think Anthropic's $70-$78 target share price is intentionally low, a tactic to set expectations and leave room to shatter them.

"Anthropic is moving forward with its IPO at a steeper discount than market initially anticipated," said Lior Prosor, managing partner of Deep33, a deep-tech venture fund. "We think that is a smart pricing strategy. It gives nervous 'AI-trade' investors meaningful potential upside while securing the capital Anthropic needs to take full control of its destiny and fund its compute commitments."

Also this week, Anthropic debuted new frontier models, Fable 5.2 and Mythos 5.2, at a lower price with allegedly stronger performance than OpenAI's latest frontier model, GPT-6 Astra. That announcement also drew investors' attention.

"Anthropic has shown incredible advances recently and their announcement about Fable 5.2 yesterday suggests they could have a bigger impact in hardware domains like robotics than people might have given them credit for previously," said Bastiaan Janmaat, general partner at Lithos Capital.
