Anthropic’s Claude AI chatbot now has a desktop app
Anthropic’s Claude AI chatbot now has an app on Windows and macOS. The startup also added support for dictation on Claude’s mobile apps.


Last week, Anthropic released its “computer use” feature in public beta, which allows the Claude 3.5 Sonnet model to control a computer by looking at a screen, moving the cursor, clicking buttons, and entering text. This capability isn’t available within the app, however.
Additionally, Anthropic is rolling out support for dictation on Claude’s Android and iOS apps, allowing you to ask a question using your voice.
The desktop version of Claude isn’t all that much different than the web version, as you can still easily ask questions, access old chats, and view starred conversations. It’s just a lot more convenient to jump into a chat with Claude right from your desktop, instead of navigating to the website.
Other AI chatbots, like OpenAI’s ChatGPT and Perplexity’s AI search engine, already have desktop apps, while Microsoft Copilot is built-in on Windows 11. ChatGPT’s desktop app just added support for advanced voice mode as well.
