Anthropic Brings Claude Assistant to Google Meet Calls

Anthropic announced that it is bringing the Claude assistant to the Google Meet video conferencing platform as part of its goal to more deeply integrate artificial intelligence into daily working life.

According to the statement made by Anthropic, the new feature called Claude Meetings allows users to add Claude to video calls as a visible participant. During the meeting, Claude can follow the conversations to turn discussions into tasks in real time, draft plans, create timelines, and answer questions coming through the chat within the call.

The company stated that this feature is designed to move the role of artificial intelligence in meetings beyond just recording or summarizing conversations, to perform subsequent tasks while the discussion continues. Anthropic expressed that individuals can build works such as applications or data analysis together with Claude by describing the ideas in their minds.

Claude Meetings is initially being made available in beta for Anthropic's Team and Enterprise customers via Google Meet, while it was reported that the company plans to expand this feature to other meeting platforms as well. This move stands out as part of the strategy to make Claude an active participant in knowledge-driven jobs. The company also introduced Claude Sheets and Claude Data tools, alongside Claude Whiteboards, which allows teams to convert discussions into timelines and action plans.

On the same day, Anthropic also announced the launch of the roadmap for its long-awaited US initial public offering (IPO) with a capital-raising plan of up to $64.4 billion and a valuation of $1.02 trillion.
