Claude Now Moves Your Mouse
Anthropic added a computer-use API to Claude 3.5 Sonnet. The model receives screenshots and issues mouse coordinates plus click commands through a virtual desktop. Early testers automated spreadsheet entry and web-form population in under ten seconds per record.
Teams stop treating desktop automation as a developer-only task. They now prototype scripts by describing the goal in plain language. This removes the need for brittle Selenium code or paid RPA platforms.
Freelance data analyst Maya Torres used the feature to populate 2,400 CRM records from PDF invoices. She finished the batch in 40 minutes instead of four hours.
Step 1: Visit https://anthropic.com and enable computer use in your Claude 3.5 Sonnet workspace. Step 2: Paste a screenshot of the target spreadsheet and type the instruction to copy invoice totals into column B. Step 3: Watch the model move the cursor and enter values; verify the sheet updates without writing any code.
