Dubai: Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has launched Claude Meetings. This new workplace feature allows its AI assistant to join video calls and begin completing tasks while participants are still discussing them.
Announced on Tuesday, November 10, the feature is designed to reduce the time employees spend turning meeting discussions into plans, documents and follow-up assignments.

Unlike conventional AI meeting assistants that primarily record conversations and generate summaries afterwards, Claude Meetings can work on tasks in real time.
How Claude Meetings works
Teams can invite Claude into a video meeting as a visible participant.
As employees discuss projects, the AI assistant can prepare plans, develop timelines, organise tasks and answer questions through the meeting chat.
It can also retrieve information from connected workplace applications, allowing participants to request relevant documents or business figures without interrupting the discussion.
After the meeting, participants can access notes, action items and other materials created by Claude through its website.
Anthropic says the feature is intended to help teams move directly from discussion to execution rather than waiting until meetings end.
Privacy and availability
Claude Meetings is initially available in beta for Team and Enterprise subscribers using Google Meet.
