What is Computer Use (Anthropic)?
Computer use is a feature that lets Claude operate a computer by looking at the screen, moving the cursor, clicking buttons, and typing text; it was announced in public beta in October 2024. With this API, developers can turn instructions into computer commands and have it handle tasks such as automating repetitive work, software development and testing, and research. According to the current documentation, it is a client toolset (computer_toolset_20260801) that provides screenshot, mouse, and keyboard control and includes 17 sub-tools, and actual execution takes place in an environment controlled by the developer. The documentation notes that a separate browser use tool is better suited for tasks that stay within a web page.
- Screen recognition from screenshots
- Mouse and keyboard control (17 sub-tools including click, typing, and zoom)
- Run multiple actions in a single turn (batch action)
- Computer toolset class in the Python and TypeScript SDKs (beta)
- Available on the Claude API and Google Cloud
