Anthropic has launched computer use in Claude.ai and Claude Code, allowing Claude to directly control a Mac's mouse, keyboard, browser, and screen to complete tasks when no connector exists. The feature is in research preview for Pro and Max subscribers, pairs with a new Dispatch feature for phone-based task assignment, and includes safeguards like activation scanning for prompt injection and per-app permission gates. This is a significant expansion of Claude's agentic capabilities into full desktop automation.
