Anthropic’s Claude is getting a new feature that allows the AI model to use your computer to perform tasks automatically. Both Cowork and Code can then navigate the screen by pointing, clicking, and scrolling, open files, use the browser, and run development tools without the need for special integrations.
The feature also supports the recently launched Dispatch, which allows a user to assign tasks to Claude from their phone and have them executed on the computer.
Anthropic emphasized that the system always requires a user’s approval before opening new applications, and that the process can be canceled at any time. However, the feature can make mistakes, runs slowly, and users are advised to avoid sensitive information.
