Claude adds live dashboards and animated explainers in beta, and Docs, Slides and Design are now on every plan
Anthropic launched two beta features. Claude Dashboards connects to a data platform such as BigQuery, Databricks or Snowflake, or to Salesforce, and builds a dashboard that updates as the data changes. It is in beta on paid plans. Claude Motion turns text, charts and images into an animated explainer you can edit and download as an MP4, in beta on Team and Enterprise. Docs, Slides and Design now work on every plan, Free included.
- If your sales or bookings sit in Salesforce or a data platform, try Dashboards on one question you ask every week, such as this week's enquiries against last month's.
- Click the number behind any chart to see the query that produced it before you quote it to a customer or a bank.
