Anthropic Launches Claude Whiteboards, Sheets, and Data — an AI Alternative to Microsoft and Google Office Tools

Anthropic is releasing three tools for working with Claude: Whiteboards, Sheets, and Data. The rollout is happening in phases and begins today, which means the new products won’t be available right away but will become available as the rollout progresses.

Whiteboards is designed for visual planning, structuring ideas, and collaborating on projects. Sheets covers the creation of spreadsheets, trackers, and task management. Data handles data analysis, visualization, and report generation.

This suite of tools makes Anthropic a direct competitor to Microsoft and Google’s office suites: in the initial description, it’s called an AI alternative to Excel, Word, Google Sheets, and Google Docs. In other words, the company is entering the space where people spend their workdays, not just the chatbot market.

For Claude itself, this marks a shift in role: from a messaging assistant, it is transforming into a work environment where planning, documents, and analytics are integrated with artificial intelligence. It is not specified which of the three tools will be the first to launch as part of the phased rollout.
