The record

What it does: Claude can use a computer interface by viewing screenshots and requesting actions such as clicking and typing.
Developer implementation: Developers add the computer use toolset to a Messages API request and run Claude’s requested actions in their own environment.
Task loop: The application returns screenshots and other tool results to Claude so it can continue acting until it completes the task.
Actions: The tool can request actions including screenshots, clicks, and typing, and can return short sequences of actions together.
Integrations: At launch, Anthropic said computer use was available through its API, Amazon Bedrock, and Google Cloud Vertex AI.
Pricing: Computer use follows standard tool-use pricing; requests incur model token costs, and screenshots are billed as image input.
Environment: Anthropic’s reference environment uses a Linux desktop with a virtual X11 display and applications including Firefox and LibreOffice.
Isolation: The reference implementation runs the computer-use environment inside a Docker container for security and isolation.
Prompt injection protection: Classifiers scan tool results such as screenshots for potential prompt injections and can steer Claude to verify whether an instruction came from the user.
User consent: Anthropic instructs developers to inform end users of relevant risks and obtain their consent before enabling computer use in their products.
Limitations: Anthropic describes computer use as imperfect and says scrolling, dragging, and zooming can be challenging.
Safety advice: Anthropic recommends starting with low-risk tasks because computer use can be error-prone and may create risks such as spam, misinformation, or fraud.
Company: Anthropic describes itself as an AI safety and research company that builds reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems.
How it runs: Your application runs each computer action in an environment you control, returns the result to Claude, and repeats the process until the task is complete.
