Episode notes
Claude Can Now Control Your Computer
- Anthropic released Claude Co-Work and Dispatch to let Claude control mouse, keyboard, and screen for automation.
- Dispatch pairs with your phone so Claude can run tasks remotely while you monitor and instruct from anywhere.
Install The Desktop App And Enable Permissions
- Use the dedicated Claude desktop app and enable Co-Work plus Dispatch in settings to grant screen and input control.
- Download the Mac or Windows app (Mac first rollout) because the web version won't control your whole computer.
Speed Is Slow By Design For Safety
- Current UI intentionally runs slow and cautious, resembling 'honey' speed, to be safe while controlling inputs.
- Anthropic acknowledges slowness and will likely increase speed over time as they refine safety and performance.
