Claude, the AI chatbot made by Anthropic, now has a desktop app. You can download the Mac and Windows versions of the app from Anthropic’s website for free.

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.

Microsoft just delayed Recall again

Microsoft is once again delaying its plans to roll out its Recall feature for Copilot Plus PCs. Windows Insiders will now get access to the feature in December.

Microsoft is once again delaying the roll out of its controversial Recall feature for Copilot Plus PCs. The software giant had planned to start testing Recall, which creates screenshots of mostly everything you see or do on a Copilot Plus PC, with Windows Insiders in October. Now, Microsoft says it needs more time to get the feature ready.

“We are committed to delivering a secure and trusted experience with Recall. To ensure we deliver on these important updates, we’re taking additional time to refine the experience before previewing it with Windows Insiders,” says Brandon LeBlanc, senior product manager of Windows, in a statement to The Verge.” Originally planned for October, Recall will now be available for preview with Windows Insiders on Copilot Plus PCs by December.”

Microsoft was forced to originally hold back Recall after security concerns were raised ahead of its planned debut with Copilot Plus PCs in June. After a delay to the launch, Recall was then supposed to appear for Windows Insiders just a matter of weeks later. Then Microsoft delayed Recall again to October, and now it’s coming by December.

Microsoft has now delayed Recall multiple times

Microsoft’s multiple delays are related to it overhauling Recall’s security, making it an opt-in experience, and allowing Copilot Plus PC owners to fully uninstall it. Microsoft has spent the past few months focused on ensuring its Recall database is fully encrypted and that the only way to get access is to authenticate through Windows Hello.

Recall uses local AI models built into Windows 11 on Copilot Plus PCs to screenshot mostly everything you see or do on your computer and then give you the ability to search and retrieve things you’ve seen. An explorable timeline lets you scroll through these snapshots to look back on what you did on a particular day on your PC.

Earlier this week, Microsoft again clarified that Recall will not be mandatory on Copilot Plus PCs, and will be an opt-in experience that can be fully removed. The clarification came after various YouTube videos claimed Recall was being installed on any PC with Windows 11, version 24H2.

The good old fashioned fear, uncertainty, and doubt has spread far and wide, simply because of some references to Recall appearing in 24H2. Microsoft’s blunt removal of Recall over the summer appears to have led to some bugs in how the feature appears and is controlled in Windows 11.
