Anthropic enabled Claude to use a user's computer in the background inside Claude Cowork and Claude Code—clicking, typing, and opening apps while the user works on something else. The beta is available to Pro and Max plans in the macOS desktop app. It moves Claude from a chat assistant to a parallel desktop coding and productivity agent.
