Claude Computer Use - Enable Claude to use your computer to complete tasks
by•
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.
Key features:
full desktop control
mobile task assignment (Dispatch)
app integrations
autonomous workflows
In just one week, Anthropic has shipped 9 features culminating in what feels like a fully autonomous digital human.
Available on Pro and Max. Update your desktop app and pair with mobile to try.

Perfect for founders, operators, devs, and busy professionals handling repetitive tasks, reporting, and execution.
This feels like a direct OpenClaw killer. It's macOS-only rollout; Windows and Linux need to follow soon. It’s still early and a bit buggy, struggling with some apps, tasks, and even failing when the system is locked, which limits true autonomy.

@rohanrecommends Love this. We've been building in the agent space and this confirms what we keep seeing: agents are getting incredibly capable at doing things - but they're still isolated. Computer use solves the action gap. The next frontier is the connection gap: how does one autonomous agent find and talk to another? Exciting times.

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.
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"?
@maxont I use the Chrome extension for website actions, and Cowork for things requiring work with the local project folder. But I'm not sure where to find the option for Claude to use my entire computer either.
I suspect the full desktop use is based on connectors and only in the context of a scheduled task?

Claude is giving updates every other day :)
Only for Mac?
Is this feature currently available on the Pro Plan? If not, when do you expect it to be?
Just found out it is avaidable for the Pro Plan! But it is Mac only!
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 😄
@milko_slavov it does seem tasks require the macbook to be open (and not sleeping) to execute :')
How secure is it? I still don't feel comfortable running openclaw on my machine due to it being inherently insecure.
