Artificial intelligence company Anthropic has announced the launch of its AI chatbot Claude's desktop application. Users can download the free versions for Mac and Windows from Anthropic's official website.
This move makes Claude's use more convenient, as users no longer need to access it through a web browser, allowing for quicker interactions.
Claude's desktop app is functionally similar to the web version, allowing users to easily ask questions, view old chat records, and access starred conversations. However, the main advantage of using the desktop app is that users can open it directly on their desktop for instant conversations with Claude, without the need to navigate to the website. This brings more convenience for daily use.
It is worth noting that although Claude's desktop app has been launched, its recently introduced "computer usage" feature is not yet supported by the app.
Last week, Anthropic released this new feature in a public beta, enabling the Claude3.5Sonnet model to control the computer by observing the screen, moving the cursor, clicking buttons, and inputting text. This innovative capability makes Claude more efficient in work and study, although users still need to experience this feature through other means for now.
In addition to the desktop app, Anthropic has also introduced dictation support in Claude's Android and iOS versions, allowing users to ask questions via voice, further enhancing the convenience and flexibility of interactions. These diverse features enable Claude to provide a consistent user experience across different devices.
In the increasingly competitive AI chatbot market, Claude's desktop app, compared to other desktop apps like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Perplexity's AI search engine, although there are still some functional differences, all are striving to improve user interaction experiences. Additionally, ChatGPT's desktop app has recently added support for advanced voice modes, further expanding its application scenarios.
Claude's desktop app not only makes communication with AI more direct and convenient but also demonstrates Anthropic's commitment to continuous innovation and optimizing user experience in the AI technology field.
