Anthropic on Monday launched a research-preview feature that lets Claude directly control a Mac's mouse, keyboard, and screen to complete tasks through both Claude Cowork and Claude Code, the company said. The "computer use" capability is available for Claude Pro and Max subscribers on macOS, with Claude falling back to raw screen interaction only when its built-in app connectors cannot handle a job. The release follows Anthropic's February 25 acquisition of Vercept AI, a desktop-automation startup, and extends the company's push into AI agents as the category heats up around the viral OpenClaw framework.
