Claude update: AI can now control your computer, warns OpenClaw

AI assistants are evolving from "just talking" to "deep task execution."
On March 24, Anthropic unveiled a major upgrade for Claude Code and Claude Cowork. The key breakthrough: AI now goes beyond tool-based calls to directly control computers. Industry experts call this the most radical leap in Claude's capabilities to date, signaling the dawn of the "real execution" era for AI interaction.
Mimicking Human Actions: Interacting Without Interfaces
After the upgrade, Claude no longer depends exclusively on APIs or plugins. Instead, it can "read" the screen like a person and execute actions.
Full-Process Control: It can open files, control browsers, and perform actions like clicking, scrolling, and dragging — all without predefined interfaces.
Low-Barrier Interaction: This pixel-level comprehension eliminates the need for complex setup. Users simply give natural language commands, and AI takes care of the rest.
Multi-Device Sync: Issue Commands from Your Phone, Let the Computer Handle the Work
Alongside this upgrade, Anthropic introduced the Dispatch cross-device feature, bridging the communication gap between phones and computers.
Remote Delegation: Users can give commands from their phone, even when away from the computer.
All-Round Assistant: Whether handling bulk emails, performing complex data summaries, or debugging code remotely, Claude works quietly in the background.
Two Major Competitors: Plug-and-Play vs. Open Ecosystem
While Claude shows aggressive expansion, the established Agent framework OpenClaw also received a major architectural update the same day. Two clear technical paths have emerged:
Claude Roadmap : Emphasizing productization and plug-and-play, it prioritizes usability and security on macOS. Currently available for Pro and Max subscribers.
OpenClaw Roadmap: It follows a system-level Agent architecture, boosting ecosystem openness with the newly launched ClawHub plugin marketplace and deeper integration with multiple development tools.
Limitations and Future: The Growing Pains of Evolution
Although impressive, the current AI control features remain in research preview. Tests show that for highly complex tasks, the AI may need multiple attempts, and simulated operations are still slower than native API integration.
Yet, as AI begins to control the mouse and command the desktop, the boundaries of human-computer collaboration have shifted forever. The race for the "best digital employee" has only just started.
