Beating AI News Flash: Anthropic rolls out two new features for Claude. Claude Dashboards turns enterprise data into real-time updated chart dashboards, while Claude Motion converts reports, charts, and product demos into short animations. Both tools are currently in testing. Dashboards supports integration with data platforms including BigQuery, Snowflake, and Databricks, and can also pull business data from Salesforce. Users only need to input natural language queries, and Claude will automatically generate SQL queries, extract data, and create charts. Dashboards update in real time as data changes. Clicking on chart figures also displays the corresponding query statement and last refresh time. For in-depth analysis, users can switch to professional tools such as PostHog and Grafana. Motion, however, does not rely on video generation models at all. Claude animates text, charts, and images by writing code. Users can freely modify numbers, text, and playback rhythm in the animation without regenerating the entire content. After completion, animations can be exported as MP4 files or handed over to other video editing tools for further processing. The two tools have different availability: Dashboards is accessible to Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users, while Motion is currently limited to Team and Enterprise plans. On the same day, Claude Docs, Slides, and Design officially exited beta testing and are now available to free users as well. Anthropic stated that the three tools have collectively generated over 45 million documents, slides, and design works to date.
