Anthropic’s Claude Meetings beta puts an AI in your video calls
Anthropic has introduced Claude Meetings, a beta feature allowing its AI assistant to join Google Meet as a visible participant to draft agendas and action items.
The feature was unveiled on November 10, 2026, starting with Google Meet, with support for other platforms expected later. Claude can take part in conversations as they unfold, drafting agendas, building timelines, and answering questions posted in the meeting chat. After calls, users can find generated notes and action items on claude.ai.
Limited Access
Access is currently limited to subscribers on Anthropic's Team plan, priced at $25 per user per month, and its Enterprise plan, which requires a minimum of $400 per month. Anthropic conducted approximately two months of internal testing before the public launch.
Security Features
Admin approval is required for external participants. If unapproved guests are present, Claude automatically exits the call, addressing potential security concerns.
Broader Strategy
Claude Meetings is part of Anthropic's expansion beyond coding assistance. The company is also beta testing Claude Whiteboards for visual planning and Claude Sheets for spreadsheet work, while Claude Data has reached general availability. The launch coincided with Anthropic's IPO roadshow at a San Francisco event titled 'The Briefing: Work at the Frontier.'
Anthropic is competing with OpenAI and Microsoft in the enterprise productivity space. By limiting the beta to paying organizations, Anthropic is targeting business customers while highlighting the current platform limitations that may exclude users of other conferencing tools.
