Claude adds live data dashboards and animated explainer videos in beta

Anthropic launched two beta features: Dashboards, which builds live dashboards from sources like BigQuery and Snowflake via text prompts, and Motion, which generates animated explainer videos from text and images. Docs, Slides and Design now work across all plans, including free accounts.

Why it matters: Anthropic is moving Claude from a chat assistant toward producing finished business artifacts that connect to live data. Opening document and design tools to free users also raises competitive pressure on Google and OpenAI as they push agentic workplace products.
