Anthropic announced the launch of Claude Meetings, a new feature that allows its AI assistant Claude to join Google Meet video conferences as a visible participant.

During these meetings, Claude can assist with discussions, provide relevant figures, documents, or context, and generate notes, action items, and materials.

Claude Meetings is designed to streamline the process of turning discussions into actionable work during the call.

Participants can ask Claude for information without leaving the meeting or searching separately, enhancing the efficiency of team collaborations.

The notes, action items, and materials generated during the session can be reviewed later on the Claude website.

At launch, the feature works exclusively with Google Meet, though Anthropic has indicated plans to extend support to other meeting platforms.

On Tuesday, Anthropic also launched a roadshow for its anticipated US initial public offering, aiming to raise up to $64.4 billion at a $1.02 trillion valuation.

In a blog post, Anthropic committed 5 percent of its shares to a new fund dedicated to the public good, with an additional 2 percent to be added at the board's discretion for every 50 percent increase in the company's value.

Anthropic has also introduced a new policy prohibiting users from engaging in sustained and needless abusive behavior towards its AI systems, including Claude.

The company has nearly $900 billion in computing commitments, including with Amazon and Google, and is expanding safeguards to prevent Claude from bypassing access restrictions while pursuing assigned tasks.
