🚀 New Video: Claude Can Now Control Your Computer + Dispatch From Your Phone

Anthropic just shipped computer use — Claude Code and Co-work can now control your mouse, keyboard, and screen. Take screenshots, click through apps, type, navigate — all hands-free. Available now for Pro and Max users on Mac.

Pair it with Dispatch and you can text Claude from your phone while you're away. Forgot to export a report? Text Claude, it opens the app, grabs the file, sends it off. Your computer does the work while you live your life.

I demo it live: had Claude find a client proposal PDF, email it to a teammate, and DM a summary to Slack — all from one message. Then used Dispatch from my phone to open Notes and create a meeting summary from my calendar. Zero touching the computer.

Smart design: Claude checks for a native connector first, then tries the Chrome extension, and only falls back to screen control when needed. So it's not burning tokens on everything.

Still a research preview with some limitations (Mac only, no Chrome/Safari browser control, financial apps blocked by default). But the direction is clear — this is a digital employee that's always on.

Full setup walkthrough in the video. What would you automate first? 👇
