Claude Can Now Control Your Whole Computer

  • Anthropic's Claude Co-Work gives Claude mouse, keyboard, and screen control so it can interact with any app on your computer.
  • Felix Riesenberg announced it integrates with Dispatch to remotely control a synced computer and phone for ongoing automations.
ADVICE

Run Claude On A Separate Machine

  • Enable Claude Co-Work and Dispatch in the Claude desktop app settings and use the Dispatch phone sync to monitor/control a remote computer.
  • Run automations on a separate machine (old laptop or Mac mini) so your main computer remains usable while Claude executes slow UI actions.
INSIGHT

Speed Is Intentionally Slow For Safety

  • Anthropic intentionally throttled speed for safety and reliability, so current interactions feel 'honey' slow but are expected to accelerate.
  • This slow pacing reduces risk during UI automation while giving developers time to refine permission handling.
