# Claude can now join video calls as an active, visible teammate in Anthropic’s latest push to reinvent white collar jobs beyond coding > Source: > Published: 2026-11-10 19:07:00+00:00 Anthropic ‘s Claude Code reinvented the field of software engineering, turning AI into a must-have tool for programmers. Now the company is seeking to do the same across the corporate workplace with a new suite of office productivity tools launched on Tuesday. 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 IPO, which could [value Anthropic at roughly $1.4 trillion](https://fortune.com/2026/11/10/anthropic-ipo-price-range-ai-stock-sell-off/), is scheduled for as soon as next week, the company revealed separately on Tuesday. To help create momentum around the product launch, Anthropic held a buzzy launch event in San Francisco Tuesday with hundreds of guests. Anthropic’s Chief Product Officer Ami Vora spoke on stage about how Claude has changed computer coding over the past year. Engineers can now delegate entire tasks to AI, but at the same time the work for most other teams has largely stayed the same, save for perhaps an email getting written faster, or a meeting being summarized. The new products aim to bring the same AI benefits 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](https://fortune.com/company/microsoft/), whose shares were down more than 2% after the news was announced. Anthropic’s vision is to turn Claude into an active member a team, rather than an optimization tool for individuals. For example, 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,” Anthropic said. The results surface in claude.ai after the call. Claude Meetings is in beta for Team and Enterprise plans, and 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. Same goes for Claude Sheets, which are spreadsheets teams can build and edit alongside Claude, and can export to Excel or CSV files. Both these 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. Anthropic is also seeking ways to deeply embed Claude in critical business functions. Another product called Claude Data, formerly Claude Dashboards, connects the AI to systems where companies keep their most important numbers, such as a data warehouse or CRM. Claude Data became available for paid plans today. 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. Over 9,000 apps are available as Claude Connectors, such as [Salesforce](https://fortune.com/company/salesforce-com/) and Workday. “Teams already do much of their work in apps like these,” Anthropic 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 today’s 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’s done for coding could [energize the IPO](https://fortune.com/2026/10/27/anthropic-s1-ipo-filing-financials-profits/) and drive up the share price. Several sources we spoke to 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](https://tracking.us.nylas.com/l/9892bcf7288a4ab78417f7e1a1bc88a9/1/7817c0c6090dddc9481421aa8474bd96d0bcd299d776ab5aa22a5cc06894cfb9?cache_buster=1794331106), 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](https://fortune.com/2026/11/09/anthropic-debuts-updated-claude-fable-and-mythos-models-undercutting-price-of-openais-gpt-6-astra-by-up-to-80/) 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. This also got 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](https://lithos.com/).  *breaks the traditional barrier between audience and newsroom.
