Claude Code and Cowork can now use your computer

## Summary
Anthropic Anthropic announced today that its Claude Code and Claude Cowork tools are being updated to accomplish tasks using your computer. When enabled, the Claude AI chatbot will first prioritize connectors to supported services such as the Google workplace suite or Slack, but if a connector isn't available, it will be able to still execute an assigned task. Claude should ask for permission before taking these actions, but Anthropic still recommended not using this feature to handle sensitive information as a precaution. It will also support use with Anthropic's Dispatch feature, which allows a person to message the chatbot in a single continuous conversation across phone and desktop.
