Today, we’re releasing a feature that allows Claude to control your computer: Mouse, keyboard, and screen, giving it the ability to use any app. I believe this is especially useful if used with Dispatch, which allows you to remotely control Claude on your computer while you’re away.

A story. Years ago at one of the passion conferences, Louie Giglio asked John Piper and me to lunch then went suspiciously quiet. And there we were, sitting across from one another forced to talk or take the chance of dishonoring our host. I’m not saying this was Louie’s intention. But I suspect it was Christ’s since he’s the Head of every table where Christians sit even if he’s unacknowledged. There we were, two people who loved Jesus, prized his fellowship above all earthly treasures, pored over the scriptures and prayed day in and day out. Passionate about Jesus then and to this day. If either of us are faking it then you’ve got to at least give us credit for keeping it up for so long. But we saw some things differently that caused us to have a certain allergy to each other. Disapproval of one another. I realize this story will bring out side takers and maybe even haters but they will have missed the point. Neither John nor I have always been right or wrong. I wouldn’t say we got particularly chatty or chummy. But we talked a bit and mostly about family. That was common ground and good ground. I’ve always been tender toward his kids as I’d like to think he’s been toward mine. It’s brutally hard to be the children of such opinionated and outspoken people. Imagine how many times our children have opened up social media and seen where we’ve dropped some kind of grenade, a take on something they could not support or, if they did, certainly wouldn’t have wanted us to say it publicly the way we said it. Many years have passed. But every single time I have ever squirmed over anything he has said or written, I revisit that lunch. I think how hard it is at times for people who come from such different places and see things from different sides of the table to understand one another. And what I know even when I don’t agree with his take on a thing is that his faith is genuine, his love for Jesus indisputable and his endurance admirable. And I can say to myself, that is my brother.
