This is another domino to fall - computer use of arbitrary apps, not just your browser. This is a big deal for lots of corporates who have custom crappy apps from 20-30 years ago. Since it is Mac only and Research Preview, I'm guessing it won't be very impactful, but it is here.

This will work with both Claude Cowork and Claude Code Desktop. You can ask Claude to click all the buttons in a legacy app that you'd like to automate - or use it to help debug a native app you're working on. It's slow but giving Claude my mouse & keyboard is *so* exciting to

this is super cool. and i think mid-term, some “emulating humans at a computer” is probably the way to go. i hope this is not the long term strategy, because it is extremely inefficient. this probably must be solved at the OS layer wrt observability. think aria tree.

I wonder if agents will create durable market demand for desktop computers as opposed to laptops. Features like this work much better on machines with persistent access to power. Of course there is the Mac Mini micro-trend, but the claw stuff is likely a flash in the pan.
