Developers can now direct Claude to use computers the way people do—by looking at a screen, moving a cursor, clicking, and typing text.\n\nWhile groundbreaking, computer use is still experimental—at times cumbersome and error-prone. We're releasing computer use early for feedback from developers.\n\nIn this demo, Claude creates a themed website—generating code, launching a server, and fixing its own mistakes.\n\nClaude is generating all the computer actions shown here. \n\nThis demonstration was recorded in a controlled environment, with some supporting infrastructure simplified to highlight the core capabilities.\n\nRead more about Claude and computer use: https://www.anthropic.com/news/3-5-models-and-computer-use",

24              "I'm Alex, I lead developer\nrelations at Anthropic, and today I'm gonna be\nshowing you a coding task with computer use. So we're gonna be showing Claude\ndoing a website coding task by actually controlling my laptop. But before we start coding, we need an actual website for\nClaude to make changes to. So, let's ask Claude to\nnavigate to claude.ai within my Chrome browser, and ask Claude within claude.ai to create a fun, 90s themed\npersonal homepage for itself. Claude opens Chrome, searches for claude.ai, and then types in a prompt\nasking the other Claude to create a personal homepage for itself. Claude.ai returns some code, and that gets nicely rendered in an Artifact on the right-hand side. That looks great, but I want to make a few\nchanges to the website locally on my own computer. Let's ask Claude to download the file and then open it up in VS Code. Claude clicks the save to file button, opens up VS Code, and then finds the file\nwithin my Downloads folder and opens it up. Perfect. Now that the file's up and running, let's ask Claude to start up a server so that we can actually view\nthe file within our browser. Claude opens up the VS Code terminal and tries to start a server. But it hits an error, we don't actually have Python\ninstalled on our machine. But that's all right, because Claude realizes this by looking at the terminal output, and then tries again with Python 3, which we do have installed on our machine. That works, so now the\nserver's up and running. Now that we have the local server started, we can go manually take\na look at the website within the browser, and it looks pretty good, but I notice that\nthere's actually an error in the terminal output, and we also have this missing\nfile icon at the top here. Let's ask Claude to identify this error and then fix it within the file. Claude visually reads the terminal output and opens up the find and\nreplace tool in VS Code to find the line that's\nthrowing the actual error. In this case, we just ask Claude to get\nrid of the error entirely, so it will just delete the whole line. Then, Claude will save the file and automatically rerun the website. So now that the error is gone, let's go take a final look at our website, and we can see that the\nfile icon has disappeared and the error is gone as well. Perfect. So that's coding with\ncomputer use and Claude. This took a few prompts now, but we can imagine in the future that Claude will be able to\ndo tasks like this end to end."
