Even though Claude 3.5 Sonet’s abilities are still evolving, the fact that an AI can attempt to control a full computer interface marks a major leap forward. Compared to existing tools like Microsoft’s Co-Pilot or OpenAI’s desktop integrations, Claude actively controls your system rather than just providing suggestions. This could eventually lead to AI “agents” capable of automating complex multi-step processes—filling out forms, browsing, or managing multiple applications seamlessly.
Anthropic envisions this technology as part of an action execution layer—a system that breaks down user commands into smaller, manageable actions for the AI to perform. They’ve already partnered with companies like Canva for design automation and Replit for building autonomous verification tools.
