Anthropic launches Claude Sheets and interactive connectors

Anthropic enriches Claude with an AI-assisted collaborative spreadsheet and connectors capable of opening partner applications within the chatbot. The new tools, reserved for paid offerings, come with basic functions and gateways to Excel, Notion, and Adobe.

Claude Sheets launches with basic functions and paid access

Claude Sheets, Anthropic's new spreadsheet, currently offers only the essential features of a spreadsheet. Anthropic plans to add additional functions in the future. Users can export files created in Claude Sheets to Microsoft Excel or use the Claude for Excel tool if certain features are missing. These new tools, including Claude Sheets, are reserved for the paid versions of Claude.

Interactive connectors open Notion and Adobe in Claude

Anthropic is introducing a new type of connector, called an interactive connector, which allows users to open a partner application directly within Claude so that the AI can perform actions on behalf of the user. For example, Adobe's interactive connector enables Claude to modify an image or edit a PDF. An integration with Notion allows users to create or modify a document without leaving the Claude interface.

An in-house office suite around Artifacts and new modules

Claude now offers its own spreadsheet, Claude Sheets, designed for collaborative work and AI assistance. The Artifacts tab in Claude already included Claude Docs and Claude Slides, which serve as alternatives to Google Docs and Microsoft PowerPoint. According to Anthropic, documents, spreadsheets, and dashboards remain within Claude to facilitate teamwork, with the ability to import results into partner tools. The company also introduced Claude Whiteboards for idea visualization and Claude Data for data exploitation. These new features come alongside the announcement of the Claude Fable 5.2 and Claude Mythos 5.2 models, as Anthropic prepares to go public.
