Anthropic brings Reflect dashboard for Claude users

Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has introduced Reflect, a new dashboard designed to help users better understand how they interact with its AI assistant, Claude. The feature gives people a clearer picture of their usage patterns, encouraging them to use AI more thoughtfully rather than simply spending more time with it.

Reflect provides users with insights such as how often they chat with Claude, the types of tasks they rely on the AI for and changes in their usage over time. Instead of focusing on screen time alone, the dashboard is intended to help users recognise whether they are using AI productively for learning, work, creativity or problem-solving.

Anthropic says the goal is to promote healthy AI habits by giving users greater transparency over their interactions. As AI tools become an increasingly important part of everyday life, the company believes people should have better visibility into how these technologies fit into their daily routines.

The launch comes at a time when AI companies are introducing new features to improve user experience while addressing concerns about excessive dependence on artificial intelligence. Reflect is designed to encourage self-awareness rather than maximise engagement, making it different from traditional digital platforms that often focus on increasing user activity.

The announcement has also attracted attention after Elon Musk publicly praised Anthropic’s approach to AI development. Musk described the company positively while reports also indicated that SpaceX is expanding its computing partnership with Anthropic to support AI-related workloads. The development highlights growing collaboration between major technology firms as demand for advanced AI computing infrastructure continues to rise.

Claude AI can now use computers like humans

AI company Anthropic has introduced a new feature for its chatbot Claude that allows it to use computers just like a human. This update is a big step forward in making AI more useful in everyday tasks.

With this new ability, Claude can open apps, browse the internet, type, click, and complete tasks on a computer. Instead of only giving answers or suggestions, the AI can now actually perform actions for the user. For example, it can fill out forms, gather information, or help manage files.

What makes this feature different is that Claude interacts directly with the computer screen, using virtual mouse clicks and keyboard inputs. This means it does not need special integrations or tools to work with different software, it can simply use them like a person would.

Right now, this feature is being tested and is mainly available for users on Mac computers. It also requires user permission before accessing files or performing any actions, which is important for safety and privacy.

However, the technology is still in early stages. Sometimes it may be slower or need multiple attempts to complete complex tasks. Anthropic says it will improve the system over time based on user feedback.

This update also increases competition in the AI industry, as companies race to build smarter and more capable digital assistants.

Experts say this marks a shift from basic chatbots to “agentic AI,” where AI systems can act more independently. Instead of waiting for step-by-step instructions, these systems can handle multi-step tasks on their own. For instance, a user could ask Claude to complete a task, and it could finish it even if the user is not actively involved.
