Anthropic launches Claude Dashboards and Claude Motion in beta, expands Docs/Slides/Design to Free plan

Anthropic has introduced Claude Dashboards and Claude Motion in beta, while moving Docs, Slides, and Design out of beta and making them available on all plans, including Free.

Claude Dashboards (Beta)

Available on paid plans, this feature connects to data platforms like BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Redshift, ClickHouse, and Salesforce. Users can ask questions in plain English to generate dashboards that stay current with data changes. Each chart displays its last refresh time, and clicking a number reveals the underlying query. Dashboards can be pushed to external tools such as Grafana, PostHog, Mixpanel, Hex, and Sigma for deeper analysis.

Claude Motion (Beta)

Restricted to Team and Enterprise plans, this feature allows users to type /motion and describe a desired animation. It generates short animated explainers by writing code to animate text, charts, and shapes, rather than using a video generation model. This approach ensures that any word or number remains editable. Exports are available in MP4, or files can be opened in Adobe, Runway, and Descript.

Docs, Slides, and Design Updates

These tools are now out of beta and accessible on every plan, including Free. Key updates include:

• Collaboration: Team editing on the same document, deck, or design, with sharing capabilities outside the organization.
• Export: PowerPoint and PDF exports retain formatting; decks can be exported to Google Slides as editable files.
• Mobile: Editing is now supported on mobile devices.

Standalone Design Site Shutdown

The standalone claude.ai/design site will shut down on December 14 and fold into the regular Claude interface. A migration button is available for design systems, but chats and comments on standalone projects will not carry over, requiring users to save necessary data beforehand.
