Anthropic upgrades Claude’s computer use to run in the background on Mac

Anthropic has upgraded Claude to enable computer use capabilities to run in the background on Mac. While the ability to use a computer is not a new feature for Claude on the desktop, this background mode enhancement allows for the automation of tasks to increase productivity. This update signals a significant shift toward more integrated AI-driven workflows in computing, allowing the AI to control the Mac system without requiring the application to remain in the foreground.
