Build live dashboards and animate explainers with Claude

Starting today, Claude can turn your data into a dashboard that stays current, and your ideas into an animated explainer for your next presentation. Claude Dashboards connects to a data platform like BigQuery, Databricks or Snowflake, or a CRM tool like Salesforce, and is in beta on paid plans. Claude Motion is in beta on Team and Enterprise. Claude Docs, Slides, and Design are out of beta and available on every plan, including Free.

Asking questions about company data usually means filing a ticket or writing SQL. And ideas that would land better in motion usually end up as another static slide. So people wait, or skip it. Claude could already help with parts of this. Now you can ask for the dashboard or the animation itself, and see how Claude made it. Each chart shows the query behind it, and each animation is built as code you can edit. Claude makes the first version, and you decide what gets shared.

Connect your company’s data platform, such as Amazon Redshift, BigQuery, ClickHouse, Databricks, or Snowflake, and ask a question in plain language. Claude pulls answers from your data, builds the dashboard, and keeps it current as the data changes. It works with your other connectors too. For example, you can ask for a dashboard of your Salesforce opportunities. Dashboards work well for quick, exploratory questions, like how this week’s signups compare with last month’s. Click any number to see the query behind it, or ask Claude to explain it. Each chart shows when its data was last refreshed.

Open Claude and ask for what you need, like “Build a dashboard of this quarter’s revenue by region,” “Animate how our pricing plans compare for the sales kickoff,” or “Turn these notes into a deck for Monday.” Start with the dashboard you’d wait for, or the report that needs more than a slide.

Dashboards work alongside your BI and analytics tools. When a question needs deeper analysis, send the dashboard from Claude straight to Amplitude, Grafana, Hex, Mixpanel, Omni, Perplexity, PostHog, or Sigma and pick up the analysis from there, with Databricks Genie, Looker, monday.com, and Tableau coming soon.

Ask Claude to turn a quarterly report into a 30-second explainer for an all-hands, add motion to a chart in a board deck, or make a product walkthrough for customer onboarding. Claude builds an animation from your prompt, and it plays like a short video. You can adjust it in the editor or ask Claude to change it, then download it as an MP4 file.

Claude Motion is built for explaining your own work. Claude writes code that animates your text, charts, shapes, and images, so you can change any word, number, or timing. It doesn’t use a video generation model, so there’s no generated footage and no AI-generated people. When you want to take it further, open it in Adobe, Descript, HeyGen, Higgsfield, invideo, Luma AI, or Runway, with Canva and Captions coming soon.
