The company says the feature is “still experimental—at times cumbersome and error-prone” but hopes developer feedback will accelerate its development.
Artificial intelligence company Anthropic announced the launch of a new version of its Claude AI model alongside a developer’s beta for “computer use” on Oct. 22.
The computer use beta will allow developers working with the API to enable Claude to take control of their mouse cursor, click on buttons and fields, and insert text in a user’s computer environment autonomously.
A video demonstration of Claude’s computer use functionality showcases the machine’s ability to navigate multiple windows, open new tabs to search for information, and transfer data from one window to another.
