Anthropic’s Claude can now operate your computer like a human—clicking, typing, browsing, and running apps autonomously. With “computer use” and Dispatch, you can assign tasks from your phone and let Claude execute them on your Mac. From emails to reports, it bridges AI reasoning with real-world action.
Claude’s new “computer use” turns AI into a true digital employee. Probably the biggest update yet by @Claude by Anthropic?
It solves the gap between thinking and doing by letting Claude control your screen, apps, browser, and workflows with permission autonomously.
Claude uses your connected apps first: Slack, Calendar, and other integrations. When there's no connector for the tool you need, it asks for your permission to open the app on your screen directly, just like a human using your computer. Anything you can do on a computer — Claude can!
Assign a task from your phone, turn your attention to something else, and come back to finished work on your computer. Tell Claude once to scan your email every morning or pull a report every Friday, and it handles it from there.
I was waiting for this as OpenClaw looks a bit too much, but i still want to run this safely. Are non admin Mac accounts best way to sandbox this or am i missing something ?
the speed at which they ship new features is unreal. this basically just replace openclaw haha.
Does my computer need to be open and on, and do I have to sit and watch the work happen?
How secure is it? I still don't feel comfortable running openclaw on my machine due to it being inherently insecure.
This means Claude desktop needs to be always running on a Mac, right? It would be funny to start working on closed Macbook in my backpack 😄
Ow waw I have been waiting for that. But I am on the max plan and still dont see it! Why?
It looks amazing - I will still use openclaw on my mac mini but use this + despatch on my actual macbook. I still think it doesn't quite nail the sheer personalisation that Open Claw offers (and the OSS nature of it).
I wonder if I can have it go to Claude.ai and prompt itself...
Is this feature currently available on the Pro Plan? If not, when do you expect it to be?
This keeps on getting better @Anthropic! Testing it now.
HI, do you know how to apply it on claude? I click visit website but it is claude website, do you guys know where is the "Claude Computer Use"?
Lol I feel like claude is dropping everyday, and I use claude for almost everything and I just love it, but it seems like they are taking the whole AI world to the next level this is scary but exciting and I can't wait to try it out
I love the recent Claude released features.
I now use Claude for almost every working task during the day.
I just started automating video generation for my startup using Claude, and it drives me crazy.
I just installed one skill, and it generates quite good videos from one prompt, and I'm able to iterate with it, asking it to cut the videos, add music, assemble one video from different videos, and that just drives me crazy.
I'm looking forward to seeing what else Claude will bring in the next year.
I think it will entirely change the way we work on a daily basis.
