Claude’s New Computer Use Feature: Let the Model Take Over Screen Actions and Coding Workflows

Claude

Claude最近最值得关注的新功能,是把“会聊天”推进到“会动手”。通过计算机使用(Computer Use)能力,Claude可以看屏幕、移动鼠标、点击按钮并输入文字,把一段段指令变成可执行的操作流程。下面按真实使用场景,拆开讲清楚Claude新功能到底能做什么、适合谁用。

Claude “Computer Use”: the key step from answering to executing

In the public beta phase, developers can guide Claude in the API to operate a computer like a person: first observe the screen, then decide where to click and what to type. It’s well-suited for multi-step tasks, such as configuring items one by one in a web admin panel, batch-filling forms, or completing a sequence of settings in a product console. It’s important to note that this capability is still experimental—it may occasionally click the wrong thing or miss a step—so it’s better used in a “semi-automated execution + human review” workflow.

For product and operations teams: Claude’s new feature works more like a “workflow bot”

In the past, you could ask Claude to write an SOP, but you still had to follow it yourself. Now you can have Claude execute the SOP, pausing at key checkpoints for your confirmation. For example, organizing support tickets, verifying page settings item by item, or moving a set of materials into CMS fields—Claude’s new feature can reduce the friction of repetitive operations. For better reliability, it’s recommended to define the success criteria for each step, such as “this step is complete only when a certain button turns gray,” which helps Claude execute more consistently.

For developers: what’s new in Claude for coding and tool usage

Anthropic also updated Claude 3.5 Sonnet and introduced Claude 3.5 Haiku, emphasizing a more competitive mix of coding capability and speed/cost. The community is also discussing how the Claude Code workflow feels smoother: it’s easier to keep iterating on the same block of code across multiple rounds, and it can even adjust the approach mid-stream as new information comes in. In practice, it’s recommended to have Claude provide a “change list” and a “rollback plan” first, then let it modify the code—this can reduce rework.

How to try Claude’s new features fast: start with low-risk tasks

If it’s your first time using Claude’s Computer Use capability, don’t start by having it handle high-risk actions like payments or destructive database operations. Better starting points include: logging in and navigating to a fixed page, checking items against a list, copying and pasting a fixed template, and taking screenshots to report results. After a week, you’ll be able to judge whether Claude’s new feature saves you 10 minutes here and there—or whether it can connect an entire workflow end to end.
