On 8 October Anthropic put Claude Dashboards in beta on paid plans and Claude Motion on Team and Enterprise. Docs, Slides and Design leave beta on every plan, Free included, and the standalone claude.ai/design stays up until 14 December.
- 8 October 2026: Claude Dashboards enters beta on paid plans. It connects to data platforms such as BigQuery, Databricks and Snowflake or to Salesforce, builds a dashboard from a plain-language question and shows the query behind every number.
- Claude Motion enters beta on Team and Enterprise: short animated explainers from a prompt, downloadable as MP4. No video generation model, no AI-generated people; Claude writes code that animates text, charts, shapes and images.
- Docs, Slides and Design leave beta on every plan, including Free. The standalone claude.ai/design stays up until 14 December; chats and comments there do not carry over.
You click a number in the dashboard and see the query it came from. You open the animation and change a word. That is what ties together Claude's two new tools of 8 October, and Anthropic's announcement says it plainly: Claude makes the first version, you decide what gets shared.
Motion is the more interesting of the two because of one sentence in the announcement: it uses no video generation model. No generated footage, no generated people. Claude writes code that moves your text, your charts, shapes and images, so every word, number and timing stays fixable.
The last fix to a presentation clip always comes minutes before the room fills up: a wrong number, an old logo, a misspelled name. When the clip is a finished video file, that means a new render and frayed nerves. When it is code, you fix one word.
Dashboards is for quick questions, like this week's signups against last month's. For deeper analysis Anthropic itself suggests sending the dashboard on to tools like Grafana, Mixpanel or Sigma. So Dashboards works alongside the analytics system you already have, and does not replace it.
Watch who gets what. Free gets Docs, Slides and Design, now without the beta label. Dashboards is for paid plans, Motion only for Team and Enterprise. The announcement has no prices, and no date for when the betas become generally available. Enterprise admins have a closer deadline: on 15 October Docs, Slides and Design turn on by themselves, unless they were turned on earlier.
If you have worked in claude.ai/design, there is a deadline there: 14 December. Design systems migrate with one button, and projects keep working until it closes, but chats with Claude and comments stay on the old site and disappear with it, along with the public links. Save what you need while the old site still works.
