Anthropic released a computer use research preview for its Claude AI assistant. The feature allows Claude to control a user's computer to perform tasks.
The agentic capability is available on macOS for Claude Pro and Max subscribers. Users access the tool through the Claude Cowork desktop application.
Claude autonomously manages local files and prepares documents across various applications. The AI synthesizes information without requiring step-by-step instructions.
This release signals a shift from conversational AI to autonomous agents. The development intensifies competition in the artificial intelligence industry.
