Claude Meetings turns live discussions into draft work

Anthropic has introduced a meeting assistant that can answer questions and prepare plans while colleagues are still talking. Claude Meetings initially connects to Google Meet, with a beta aimed at Team and Enterprise customers. Visible participation and administrator controls govern its access, while notes and work products remain available in Claude after the call.

An assistant inside the call

Anthropic has announced Claude Meetings, a workplace assistant that joins a video call and works on requests as the conversation continues. Its first connection is to Google Meet, with a beta for Team and Enterprise customers. Claude appears among the participants and posts a notice in the meeting chat, making its presence visible to the people taking part.[1], [2]

Discussion becomes editable work

Participants can ask Claude questions through the chat or request a draft plan, a timeline or a whiteboard while they discuss the work. The assistant can consult information in business applications that have previously been connected to Claude. Meeting notes, action items and the materials prepared during the call remain accessible afterward in Claude.ai, allowing colleagues to continue working on what they started together.[1]

External guests require administrator permission

Calls involving people outside the organisation require administrator authorisation for the assistant to participate. Anthropic also describes automatic departure if an external guest joins later. These participation controls sit alongside the permissions attached to connected applications. The initial announcement specifies Google Meet and a beta customer group; it does not establish support across every conferencing service. Anthropic’s design links work during the call with material that teams can retain and revise afterward.[1]
