Anthropic introduced the ability to use computers with Cowork and Claude Code for Claude in the beta version

Anthropic has introduced the feature of using a computer and running tasks in the background with Cowork and Claude Code for the Claude model in beta.

Anthropic has released an important update for the artificial intelligence model Claude, within the scope of Cowork and Claude Code integration. With the new feature announced today, Claude now has the ability to run tasks in the background on users' computers.

While this development allows software developers to automate desktop operations, it has been reported that the system can perform interactions such as opening applications, clicking and entering text. This feature, which is available in beta for Pro and Max plan users in the macOS desktop application, radically changes the user experience by taking Claude's computer usage skills to the next level.

Artificial Intelligence Takes Over Computer Control

The evolution of artificial intelligence technologies now enables them to go beyond just producing text-based responses and become active assistants. Claude's new ability provides an infrastructure based on direct interaction with the computer's user interface. When users define a task for artificial intelligence, Claude can switch between windows as if he were a human, enter data into the necessary boxes and execute commands with a click-to-run logic.

Software Development Processes are Accelerating

For the software world, this feature is revolutionary, especially in the automation of repetitive tasks. When combined with Cowork and Claude Code, testing processes or file management operations that a developer needs in the coding environment can be quickly handled by Claude in the background. In the statement made by Anthropic, it is emphasized that the system can spare time for more creative work that the user needs to focus on while performing complex desktop tasks.

Safety and Performance Standards Are Determined

It is stated that this infrastructure, which is in the beta process, has been optimized to meet the privacy and security expectations of the users. Anthropic states that the system constantly collects data and takes user feedback into account to minimize the margin of error. It is expected that this feature will spread to a wider user base and different operating systems in the future. This kind of autonomy proves that AI is fully integrated into the computing ecosystem as a digital assistant and not just a tool.
