Résumé détaillé

Claude can now join video calls as an active, visible teammate in Anthropic's latest push to reinvent white collar jobs beyond coding.

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, 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, 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.

Claude Meetings is in beta…
