Claude AI can open apps, browse and work on your computer — Internet calls it ‘a job description’

Artificial intelligence is moving rapidly from assistance to execution. In its latest update, Anthropic, founded by Dario Amodei, has introduced a new capability for its AI assistant Claude that allows it to operate a user’s computer and complete tasks independently — a shift that is prompting both excitement and unease online.

The feature was demonstrated in a video shared on X, in which Claude is carrying out everyday office functions without human intervention. According to the company, users can assign tasks remotely — even from their phones — and the AI will execute them on a connected system.
