Claude Computer Use is Anthropic's agentic API capability that allows Claude to control a computer — moving the mouse, clicking, typing, taking screenshots, and running commands — to complete tasks autonomously. Released in public beta in late 2025 and gaining major traction in Q2 2026, Claude's computer use enables developers to build powerful AI agents that navigate GUIs, operate desktop software, and execute complex workflows without requiring custom integrations.
