Claude from Anthropic learned to manage Mac computers on behalf of users

Claude from Anthropic has gained the ability to control Mac computers in real time — AI takes on routine interface actions on behalf of the user.

What Claude Can Now Do

Claude Cowork and Claude Code now have full macOS control. It can see the screen, click, open files and interact with applications the way a human would.

• Opening and editing files
• Browser control (navigation, form filling)
• Running development tools
• Completing multi-step tasks through the system interface
• Task delegation via smartphone through the Dispatch feature

How Dispatch Works

The Dispatch feature allows sending tasks to Claude directly from your phone. A user formulates a task on a smartphone — the model executes it on the desktop independently. This removes the need to sit at a computer to run routine operations.

Context: Computer Agents Are Gaining Momentum

Anthropicis following the same path as OpenAI with Operator and Google with Project Mariner — all major AI labs are now betting on agents capable of working in real operating system environments, not just answering questions in chat.

What This Means

The boundary between chatbot and a full-fledged digital employee is blurring faster than expected. For developers and technical users, this means the ability to delegate entire workflows — not individual prompts, but sequences of actions.
