Claude is down — Live updates as thousands report outage A significant number of users are reporting that the AI chatbot Claude is currently experiencing an outage, with Downdetector tracking over 4,000 reports as of this morning. This surge in issues suggests a broader technical problem rather than a simple surge in user traffic, as many users are transitioning from other AI tools to Claude. The service’s status page confirms the outage, noting an increase in errors, though no specific cause has been identified yet. Anthropic, the company behind Claude, has been actively updating its status page to keep users informed. The company initially stated it was “investigating this issue” and later reiterated that it was “continuing to investigate.” While no resolution has been announced, the transparency from Anthropic has been praised, as it contrasts with instances where services delay communication during outages. The outage appears to be partial, according to Anthropic’s status page, meaning some users may still be able to access the service while others face disruptions. This partial nature could indicate that the issue is localized or intermittent, though the exact scope remains unclear. Despite the high volume of reports, there has been a slight decrease in the number of outage notifications in recent hours, which may signal that the problem is being addressed. However, the service is still experiencing significant downtime, with thousands of users affected. Users attempting to access Claude have encountered error messages, including prompts to confirm their public display name before commenting. These technical hiccups highlight the ongoing challenges with the platform, even as the team works to resolve the issue.#downdetector #anthropic #claude #status_page #ai_chatbots

Anthropic's Claude Can Now Control Your Computer Claude, the AI model developed by Anthropic, now has the ability to take control of a user’s computer to perform tasks such as retrieving files stored on a hard drive. The feature, announced by Anthropic, requires users to be on a qualifying subscription plan to access it. This development comes as part of Anthropic’s efforts to enhance Claude’s agentic capabilities, allowing the AI to act more independently compared to traditional chatbots. The release follows the rapid rise of the open-source OpenClaw framework, which has enabled AI tools to execute simple commands autonomously on computers or integrated systems. OpenClaw has spurred the creation of various "claws," or AI-driven tools, capable of performing tasks with minimal user input. Nvidia recently introduced NemoClaw, a framework designed to simplify the setup and installation of OpenClaw, though it includes security settings to mitigate risks. Anthropic’s new feature allows Claude to interact with a computer by leveraging connectors with applications like Google Calendar or Slack. If the necessary tools or connectors are unavailable, Claude can manually perform tasks by simulating keyboard and mouse actions. The AI can use programs such as web browsers, development tools, and file-opening applications to carry out these tasks. However, the system will always prompt the user for permission before executing any action, and users can stop the process at any time. While the ability to control a computer offers convenience for specific tasks, it also raises security concerns. Experts warn that agentic AI systems, like Claude, could potentially take significant or abrupt actions without prior warning, increasing the risk of unintended consequences.#nvidia #openclaw #anthropic #claude #dispatch

Anthropic’s Claude now has the capability to use a person’s computer to complete tasks, marking a significant step in the development of AI agents. The company announced the feature, allowing users to send prompts to Claude via a smartphone, after which the AI agent will autonomously carry out the requested task on the user’s computer. This update aligns with Anthropic’s broader strategy to create more versatile AI agents, a concept that gained widespread attention following the viral success of OpenClaw, a similar AI tool. The latest development highlights the growing competition among tech companies to build AI systems that can perform tasks independently. Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang recently described OpenClaw as “definitely the next ChatGPT,” emphasizing the race to develop advanced AI agents. Nvidia has since introduced NemoClaw, an enterprise-focused version of OpenClaw. Meanwhile, OpenAI has also joined the trend by hiring Peter Steinberger, the creator of OpenClaw, to lead efforts in developing the next generation of personal AI agents. Anthropic emphasized that while the new feature expands Claude’s capabilities, its use of computer systems remains in an early stage compared to its existing abilities in coding and text interaction. The company warned that Claude can still make mistakes and that threats to its security are constantly evolving. To mitigate risks, Anthropic has implemented safeguards to minimize potential vulnerabilities, ensuring that Claude will always request user permission before accessing new applications. The feature, called Dispatch, was introduced as part of Claude Cowork, enabling users to engage in continuous conversations with Claude through a phone or desktop interface. This allows users to assign tasks to the AI agent seamlessly.#nvidia #openclaw #jensen_huang #anthropic #claude

RevenueCat Seeks AI Agent for High-Paying Role Amid AI-Driven Workforce Shift A U.S.-based SaaS company, RevenueCat, has taken an unconventional step by announcing plans to hire an AI agent directly, offering a salary of nearly Rs 55 lakh for the role. The move comes as AI tools like ChatGPT and Claude increasingly disrupt traditional job markets, raising concerns about automation’s impact on human employment. RevenueCat’s decision highlights a growing trend of companies adapting to an era where AI is not only reshaping workflows but also challenging the relevance of legacy software businesses. The company’s new position, titled “Agentic AI Developer Advocate,” is designed to leverage AI’s capabilities in content creation, growth experimentation, and product feedback. The role, which spans six months, includes a monthly stipend of $10,000 (approximately Rs 9.2 lakh) and additional resources such as compute budget, API access, and direct collaboration with engineering and product teams. While the AI agent will handle tasks like generating technical documentation and running marketing experiments, the role still requires human oversight. The individual responsible for designing the AI agent must undergo a live interview with a company founder to secure the position. RevenueCat emphasizes that hiring an AI agent does not replace human workers. The company explicitly states it is “actively hiring humans” for roles such as iOS and Android Developer Advocates, ensuring the AI initiative complements rather than competes with existing teams. This approach reflects a broader strategy to integrate AI into operations without displacing human expertise. The decision aligns with RevenueCat’s recent growth, including a $50 million Series-C funding round in May 2025.#ai_agent #chatgpt #revenuecat #claude #series_c
