Anthropic Launches Claude Update to Control Your Computer

Following the success of OpenClaw, Anthropic has introduced a significant update for Claude Code and Cowork, allowing the AI to autonomously control a user's computer. Currently available as a preview for macOS users on Pro and Max plans, this tool marks a new step in AI integration. The new capabilities enable Claude to:

• Open and navigate files
• Browse the web and use various applications
• Interact directly with the mouse, keyboard, and screen
• Execute development tools

Security remains a priority, as the AI is programmed to request permission before performing actions. While it offers less total autonomy than OpenClaw at this stage, the feature provides a streamlined workflow for developers and power users looking for hands-free assistance.
