Anthropic adds dashboard and animation tools to Claude

Anthropic dated its announcement October 8, 2026.[1] Claude Dashboards is in beta on Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise plans, while Claude Motion is in beta on Team and Enterprise plans.[1][2] Anthropic also says Docs, Slides, and Design are out of beta and available on every Claude plan, including Free.[1] For enterprise administrators, Dashboards and Motion are off by default, while Docs, Slides, and Design turn on by default October 15.[1]

Dashboards can connect to data platforms including Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, Databricks, and Snowflake, and to connected apps such as Salesforce.[1][2] Users can ask questions in plain language; Anthropic says Claude writes the queries and builds a dashboard from the connected data.[2] Each chart shows when its data was last refreshed, and users can inspect a chart’s query or ask Claude to explain it.[1] Anthropic describes the feature as suited to quick, exploratory questions rather than deeper analysis.[2] Users can send dashboards to tools including Amplitude, Grafana, Hex, Mixpanel, and Sigma for further analysis; Looker, monday.com, and Tableau handoffs are coming soon.[1]

Anthropic says Motion can create report explainers, animated charts, and product walkthroughs.[3] It builds animations as editable code that can animate text, charts, shapes, and images.[3] Users can change an individual word, number, or timing detail without changing the rest of the animation.[3] Motion does not use a video-generation model and does not create realistic footage or people.[3] Users can export animations as MP4 files or open them in tools including Adobe, Descript, HeyGen, and Runway; Canva and Captions are listed as coming soon.[3][1]

Anthropic says teams can work together on the same document, deck, design, or dashboard, and share slides, designs, dashboards, and animations outside their organization or with anyone who has a link, subject to administrator settings.[1] Artifacts now support customer-managed encryption keys, and administrators can select which artifact templates their organization uses.[1] PowerPoint and PDF exports preserve editor formatting, while decks can be exported to Google Slides as editable files.[1] Users can also edit documents, decks, and designs in the Claude mobile app.[1] Anthropic reports that users have created more than 45 million documents, decks, and designs in Claude.[1]
