Anthropic's Claude can now use a computer the way a person does
The brief
Anthropic upgraded Claude with "computer use" — the model can look at a screen, move a cursor, click buttons, and type into any app. It's designed for automating workflows across legacy software that has no API, by driving the UI directly.
Takeaway
The 30-year-old TMS with no API just became automatable — the agent uses it the way your ops team does: click, type, tab, submit.
Why it matters for logistics
Most freight software still lacks decent APIs. Computer use is the unlock for automating carrier portal check-ins, customs filings, and rate-sheet uploads without waiting for the vendor to modernize. Start listing every "someone logs in 40x/day and copy-pastes" workflow — those are the first pilots.
