Anthropic launches a Claude AI agent that lives in Chrome


Anthropic is the latest AI lab to offer an AI agent with the ability to view and take action in a user's Chrome browser.

The company also says that Claude’s browser agent will ask for user permission before “taking high-risk actions like publishing, purchasing, or sharing personal data.”
