Claude AI Gains Remote Mac Control for Task Automation
TL;DR
Anthropic has added remote-control capabilities to Claude Code and Claude Cowork, allowing Claude to operate a Mac and complete tasks by navigating the screen when direct app connectors aren’t available. Paired with Dispatch for iPhone-to-desktop task handoffs, a demo shows Claude exporting a pitch deck to PDF and attaching it to a meeting invite while the user is away. The feature is early, uses a permission-first model for app access, is Mac-only for now, and is in research preview for Claude Pro and Max; safeguards advise starting with trusted apps and avoiding sensitive data.
