Claude Dashboards + Claude Motion Guide

Anthropic launched Claude Dashboards and Claude Motion in beta on October 8, 2026. Dashboards turns your data into live charts. Motion turns charts and reports into short animated explainers.

Together they let you:

• Ask a business question in plain language
• Get a live, checkable dashboard
• Pick the one chart that matters
• Turn it into a 30-second animation
• Share it with leaders, clients, or your audience

Dashboards find the insight. Motion makes people remember it.

Claude Dashboards

Beta on paid plans: Pro, Max, Team, and Enterprise

Claude Motion

Beta on Team and Enterprise only

Enterprise

Both are off by default. Admins enable them in Organization settings → Artifacts.

To use both, you need a Team or Enterprise plan. Beta features can change.

Dashboards supports data sources including BigQuery, Snowflake, Databricks, Amazon Redshift, ClickHouse, and Salesforce.

• Use read-only access
• Connect only the tables you need
• Agree on metric definitions first

Build a live dashboard of monthly recurring revenue, new customers, and churn for the last 12 months from our Snowflake billing tables. Show the query and refresh time on every chart.

Each chart has its own SQL query and refresh time. Open the queries behind your key numbers before you trust them.

Ask Claude to read the dashboard with you:

• What changed most this period?
• What is surprising?
• What explains the change?
• What should we do about it?

Animate one insight, not the whole dashboard.

Type /motion, or choose Output → Motion in the message box, and give a brief:

Create a 30-second animation of the churn chart for our leadership meeting. Show churn falling from 4.1% to 2.8%, then reveal the two reasons: faster onboarding and annual plans. End with “Next: expand onboarding to all plans.” Use our navy and white brand colors.

Motion animates text, charts, shapes, and images as editable code. It does not generate footage or AI people.

• Edit in chat or in the built-in editor
• Change one detail at a time
• Check every number against the dashboard
• Make sure each line is readable in its time
• Keep sensitive data out of shared versions

• Download Motion animations as MP4
• Share links, since animations start private
• Send dashboard results to Amplitude, Grafana, or Hex
• Hand animations to tools such as Adobe, Descript, HeyGen, Luma AI, or Runway

From [data source], build a live dashboard answering: [business question]. Show the query and refresh time on every chart.
