Anthropic is giving Claude the ability to use your Mac for you

Anthropic is introducing the ability for Claude to control your Mac. The feature arrives today.

In an unlisted YouTube video, Anthropic shows off Claude computer usage with Cowork and Code:

In Claude Cowork and Claude Code, you can now let Claude use your computer to handle tasks. It can point, click, and navigate like you would to do everything from opening and editing files to handling complex software tasks. And with Dispatch, you can instruct Claude from your phone.

Engadget reports that the feature will be available on macOS for Claude Pro and Claude Max subscribers as a research preview.

In other words, Anthropic itself is doing OpenClaw stuff now. The AI agent movement started on Claude before being bought by OpenAI.

Now Perplexity Computer and Meta’s Manus are active in the space. Meanwhile, the Mac minis that first powered all this are constantly sold out.
