Anthropic, the Amazon-backed AI startup founded by former OpenAI research executives, announced Tuesday that it's reached an artificial intelligence milestone for the company: AI agents that can use a computer to complete complex tasks like a human would.
Anthropic is the company behind Claude — one of the chatbots that, like OpenAI's ChatGPT and Google's Gemini, has exploded in popularity.
Amazon had early access to the tool, Anthropic told CNBC, and early customers and beta testers included Asana, Canva and Notion.
The company has been working on the tool since early this year, according to Kaplan.
Anthropic said that future consumer applications include booking flights, scheduling appointments, filling out forms, conducting online research and filing expense reports.
