Anthropic ships computer use, Skills API, and Files API to general availability
Anthropic moved computer use, the Skills API, and the Files API to general availability on the Claude Platform, with computer use now taking several actions per turn, a new browser use tool that reads page structure instead of pixels alone, and Files API limits raised 5x with 1TB per organization. Claims processor Asteroid cut its longest workflow from 32 minutes to 13, and HIPAA BAA eligibility puts regulated workloads — insurance, healthcare intake — inside scope for agents that operate real software.

A skill is a folder of instructions, scripts, and templates that Claude loads only when a task calls for it.
Anthropic
Why this matters
- → Agents can now complete multi-step workflows in insurance, healthcare, and enterprise software without custom
- → Browser use tool targets web elements by structure, not pixels — faster and more reliable automation.
- → HIPAA BAA eligibility opens regulated workloads (insurance claims, medical intake) to agentic automation.
Agents meet real software
