[Anthropic enters artificial intelligence office software and competes with Microsoft and Google before IPO.] On November 11th, Anthropic launched a series of tools to further integrate artificial intelligence (AI) into daily office work and compete more directly with Microsoft and Google. The features, which will be unveiled at an Anthropic event on Tuesday, include a video call assistant, a data dashboard tool, and a spreadsheet service called Claude Sheets. Claude Sheets is very similar to Microsoft Excel and Google Sheets, but with Anthropic's AI capabilities built-in. Many new tools will be available in beta form to paying users. Anthropic also announced that it will allow companies such as Adobe, Atlassian and HubSpot to embed a version of their existing application into Claude. Anthropic is both a partner and competitor to these companies and others. The relationship has repeatedly stoked concerns this year that AI could one day render traditional enterprise software products obsolete.
