Claude can now build your dashboards

A month after OpenAI gave ChatGPT Work a data agent that builds dashboards, Anthropic on Thursday shipped its own version. Claude Dashboards, which is now in beta, lets users build live dashboards, with the ability to see the exact queries that pull the data and the ability to export those dashboards into popular business intelligence tools. Dashboards connects to enterprise data sources Snowflake, Databricks, Amazon Redshift, and ClickHouse, among other platforms. In addition, Anthropic is also launching Claude Motion, which uses code to animate reports and charts, and Docs, Slides, and Design are now out of beta. Live dashboards, visible queries To get started with dashboards, users connect their data platforms of choice and describe what they want to know. Clicking a number in any of these new dashboards brings up the query that produced it. Those rare users who don’t want to read SQL can also ask Claude to explain the figure. Dashboards work with Claude’s existing connectors, too, including Salesforce. The company says Claude will refresh the dashboard as the data changes, with a timestamp on each chart showing its last update. It’s worth noting that Anthropic isn’t positioning Dashboards as a replacement for business intelligence tools (though some users will surely use it this way). Its feature set can’t replace specialized BI tools, but users who want to dig deeper can move a dashboard into services like Grafana, Hex, Mixpanel, monday.com, Omni, PostHog, or Sigma. Support for Looker, Perplexity, and Tableau is coming later. Business definitions and permissions It’s worth noting that Anthropic isn’t the first to market with this idea. OpenAI’s Data agent, which launched about a month ago as a ChatGPT Work plugin, also lets users build similar dashboards and it, too, connects to enterprise data platforms like Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, Databricks, MongoDB, Snowflake, and Datadog. And users can have it build dashboards directly in Power BI, Tableau, ThoughtSpot, and other BI tools. The list of supported vendors between OpenAI and Anthropic is a bit different and OpenAI supports semantic layerslike Databricks Genie Ontology, but the overall direction here is essentially the same. Both companies want to become more deeply entrenched in the enterprise — that’s where the money is, after all — and go beyond simply being token providers and move further up the enterprise productivity stack. The warehouse vendors themselves aren’t sitting idle either, though. Snowflake signed a $200 million deal with Anthropic in December 2025, but OpenAI’s Data agent announcement includes comments from product leaders at both Snowflake and Databricks. Both vendors also have their own natural-language analytics tools, Snowflake Intelligence and Databricks Genie. According to OpenAI, Data agent queries respect the existing table, row, and column permissions of whatever account is connected. For now, it remains unclear whether Claude works from a semantic layer or writes SQL straight against tables, and whose credentials a dashboard uses when it refreshes. Admins can allow users to share dashboards outside their organization, including through public links. Anthropic hasn’t said whether those viewers see live data or whose credentials would retrieve it. Companies will need those details before connecting a production warehouse. Claude Motion skips video models In a somewhat related move, Anthropic also launched Claude Motion, which can turn material such as a quarterly update or a chart from a board deck into a short animated clip. Since Anthropic doesn’t have a video model, Claude does this by writing code to animate the user’s text, charts, and images. But that also makes this more flexible and users can easily edit the animations until they export them to an MP4. Credit: Anthropic. Developers have been building similar videos with Claude Code and frameworks such as Remotion and HeyGen’s open source HyperFrames. Motion brings that workflow directly into Claude and the finished clip can be edited in any video tool. Motion is now in beta for Team and Enterprise customers. Availability and enterprise controls Dashboards is available in beta on Claude’s paid plans. Enterprise admins must enable both Dashboards and Motion. Docs, Slides, and Design, meanwhile, will be enabled by default for Enterprise organizations Oct. 15. They’ve been available in beta inside Claude conversations since Sept. 16. Anthropic says users have created more than 45 million documents, decks, and designs since then. Artifacts, Anthropic’s term for the documents, decks, and dashboards Claude creates, now support customer-managed encryption keys (CMEK). Admins can control which artifact templates users see. Users of the standalone Claude Design site, which launched in April, have until Dec. 14 to migrate. Their chats and comments won’t transfer.
