Anthropic adds video and dashboard tools to Claude
Anthropic added beta tools to Claude for live dashboards and animated explainers, broadened access to Docs, Slides and Design, and said more than 45 million documents had been created.
- Anthropic launched two beta features for Claude called Dashboards and Motion.
- Anthropic said Dashboards could connect systems such as BigQuery, Databricks, Snowflake and Salesforce to build auto-updating dashboards from prompts.
- Anthropic said Motion could turn text, diagrams and images into animated explainer videos that could be edited as code and exported as MP4 files.
- Docs, Slides and Design left beta and became available across all plans, including free accounts.
- The article said Microsoft was reportedly reducing its use of Claude.
Anthropic said it had added two beta features to Claude: Dashboards and Motion. Dashboards linked data sources such as BigQuery, Databricks, Snowflake and Salesforce to prompts that produced dashboards which refreshed automatically.
The company said each number in Dashboards showed the query behind it, and that results could be sent onwards to Amplitude, Grafana or Hex. Motion turned text, diagrams and images into animated explainer videos, which could be edited as code and exported as MP4.
Dashboards was available to paid users, while Motion was limited to Team and Enterprise plans. Docs, Slides and Design came out of beta and were opened up to all plans, including free accounts.
Anthropic said more than 45 million documents had been created with these tools. It also said Claude Design would be folded into the main app by 14 December, with a migration guide available, and the piece said Microsoft was reportedly cutting back on Claude use.
