Claude Dashboards (thread): connect a data platform or CRM, ask in plain language; Claude writes the query and builds a dashboard that updates as data changes, and every chart shows its query. Beta on paid plans.
Claude Motion (thread): turns reports, charts, or product walkthroughs into short animations. Written as code, no video model, so any word, number, or timing is editable; exports MP4. Beta on Team and Enterprise plans.
Claude Dashboards and Claude Motion are in beta: ask Claude to turn data into live dashboards, and ideas into animated explainers. Launch video attached.
