Anthropic's Claude Can Now Control Your Computer

  • Anthropic announced Monday that Claude can now autonomously control computers to execute tasks, with users able to permit the AI to navigate web browsers, open applications, and manage spreadsheets.
  • This development follows the viral release of the open-source OpenClaw framework earlier this year, which popularized 'agentic' AI capable of executing complex commands autonomously on computers.
  • Claude utilizes connectors for apps like Google Calendar or Slack to complete work, or manually operates the mouse and keyboard when integrations are unavailable. Anthropic stated the system "always request permission before accessing new apps."
  • Subscribers to Claude Pro and Claude Max on macOS and Windows can access this research preview, including Claude Cowork and Claude Dispatch for assigning automated workflows like summarizing emails or tracking industry news.
  • Anthropic warned, "Claude can make mistakes, and while we continue to improve our safeguards, threats are constantly evolving." The company advises against using the preview with sensitive data, as the technology remains in early development.
