Claude launches real-time dashboard and animation tools: data updates automatically, videos can be edited word by word.

Beating AI News Flash: Anthropic launches two new features for Claude. Claude Dashboards can turn enterprise data directly into real-time updating chart dashboards, while Claude Motion can turn reports, charts, and product demos into short animations. Both tools are currently in beta.

Dashboards supports connections to data platforms such as BigQuery, Snowflake, and Databricks, and can also read business data from Salesforce. Users only need to ask questions in natural language, and Claude will write SQL queries, extract data, and generate charts on its own. When data changes, the dashboard also updates. By clicking on numbers in the charts, users can also view the corresponding query statements and the last refresh time. When deeper analysis is needed, users can move to professional tools such as PostHog and Grafana to continue processing.

Motion does not rely on video generation models at all. Claude makes text, charts, and images move by writing code. Users can modify the numbers, copy, and playback pace in the animation at any time without regenerating the entire piece. After completion, it can be exported as MP4 or handed off to other video editing tools for further processing.

The scope of availability differs. Dashboards is available to Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise users, while Motion is temporarily limited to Team and Enterprise. On the same day, Claude Docs, Slides, and Design officially ended beta, and free users can also use them. Anthropic says these three tools have cumulatively generated more than 45 million documents, slides, and design works.
