Claude tries to keep more of your work inside its paid plan
In brief
According to Anthropic, Claude can now create whiteboards and spreadsheets, on top of presentations added in September; these features are in beta on paid plans. Connectors let some software run inside Claude, including Acrobat, Confluence and Notion. Claude Data, formerly Claude Dashboards, is generally available and can still export to third-party analytics tools.

What it changes for an SME
If you already pay for Claude, non-specialist staff can draft, prototype and analyse a bit more without switching apps, which may cut copy-paste time. Anthropic frames the extras as a complement, not a replacement: export to your current tools remains available, and the features are not at the level of specialised software. The practical change is organisational: more work and data sitting in one subscription. The vendor says bundling this in Claude can cost less in usage than sending the same tasks through third-party APIs.
What you can do
- Check whether your paid Claude plans already include the whiteboard and spreadsheet beta plus Claude Data.
- List the moments your teams leave Claude for a spreadsheet, Notion or a BI tool, and test whether export or connectors cover those steps.
- Decide where project data should live, in Claude, in your current software, or both, before you lock a workflow in.
