Anthropic Brings Claude Into Google Meet to Draft Docs Live

Anthropic has begun rolling out Claude Meetings, a feature that lets teams invite its Claude assistant into a Google Meet call and ask it to draft documents, build whiteboards, or look up information while the meeting is still going, according to VentureBeat. The significance is that the AI works inside the live conversation, so a team can review and edit what it produces before the call ends rather than tidying up notes afterward.

What is Claude Meetings and how does it work?

According to VentureBeat, Claude Meetings is a beta feature that adds Claude as a participant in a Google Meet call. It appears in the participant list and introduces itself in the meeting chat. People can talk to it out loud or type a request into the chat, and by default it replies in writing. The team can see the work it starts and revise it while the discussion continues.

The beta is rolling out to Claude Team and Enterprise subscribers, with Google Meet as the first supported platform. Anthropic says additional videoconferencing platforms will follow. During the beta, notes, transcripts, and most in-call answers are included at no extra charge.

What can Claude actually do during a meeting?

VentureBeat describes an event-planning example from Anthropic. A team asks Claude to draft a plan based on the conversation so far. When the discussion turns to money, Claude asks permission to look up what the company spent on the previous year's event, then posts the figure in the chat and compares it with the current plan. The team can also ask Claude to map the schedule on a whiteboard and adjust it during the meeting.

After the call, Claude generates a meeting page containing the notes, action items, transcript, and the material produced during the session, according to VentureBeat. Colleagues who were on the invite can open and edit that page, and it can be shared with others inside the organization. Users can also ask Claude follow-up questions about meetings they attended. Anthropic says it is working with Gong, Attention, Granola, Fireflies.ai, and Otter so teams can send transcripts to those services.

How much does Claude Meetings cost?

The feature requires a paid Claude subscription. According to VentureBeat, Anthropic's pricing page lists Team standard seats at $20 per user per month with annual billing, or $25 per user per month billed monthly. The published Enterprise rate is $20 per seat per month billed annually, with a 20-seat minimum and usage billed at API rates.

Under the Meetings beta terms, notes, transcripts, and answers given during a call are free. If Claude uses a connected tool to answer a question, that activity counts toward the customer's plan usage. Documents, whiteboards, and other materials created in a meeting have a separate free-use deadline of February 10, 2027, and Anthropic has not disclosed what it will charge for them after that date.

Who can turn it on, and what does Claude keep?

Eligible Team customers can invite Claude by default unless an administrator disables the feature, VentureBeat reports. Enterprise administrators must enable it and can make it available across the whole organization or only to a subset of users. Individuals can add Claude to a single meeting or turn on automatic joining. The beta excludes some organizations, including those using zero data retention, Anthropic's HIPAA-ready configuration, or customer-managed encryption keys.

By default, Claude stays out of calls that include someone from outside the organization and leaves if an outside guest joins partway through. Administrators can allow it on those calls; when they do, Claude posts its arrival notice in the chat but keeps its replies out of that chat, though what guests say still goes into the notes and transcript. Anthropic says Claude saves the transcript, a summary, and descriptions of what appeared on screen, but excludes audio. The company asks teams to confirm everyone is comfortable with transcription before inviting Claude or enabling automatic joining. Claude requests permission the first time it uses a person's connected tool, and that permission carries forward; for spoken requests it checks who is speaking each time. On internal calls, anything Claude posts in the chat is visible to everyone present.

How does it compare with Gemini in Meet and Microsoft Teams?

The category is already crowded. According to VentureBeat, Google Meet offers Gemini note-taking on eligible plans, and Ask Gemini in Meet lets individual attendees privately ask for a recap or a list of decisions during a call. Microsoft's Facilitator in Teams supports shared live notes and can draft a Word document from the meeting discussion, chat, and shared files. Anthropic's pitch for Meet users is a shared workspace where attendees can ask Claude to build a plan or sketch a timeline and edit it together as they talk.

How does this relate to Grafy?

Grafy does not join live video calls or transcribe meetings, so there is no direct equivalent to Claude Meetings. The transferable part is the workflow underneath it: turning a conversation into an editable draft. In Grafy Chat, you can draft a document, plan, or timeline with an AI and revise it in place, much like the draft a meeting produces. If you want to explore several drafts or directions at once, Graph lays out prompts, outputs, and edits as a branching structure you can iterate on. And after a real meeting, you could paste the transcript into Reader to question it, surface action items, or search a long discussion.

Google Meet is the first supported platform, according to VentureBeat. The feature is in beta for Claude Team and Enterprise subscribers, and Anthropic says it plans to add more videoconferencing platforms after Google Meet. So for now, Meet is the only place teams can invite Claude into a live call, with other platforms promised but not yet available.
