It's been 26 days since Vercept joined Anthropic ➡️ Claude is now able to use your mouse and keyboard to control your computer in Cowork and the Claude Code Desktop app 🖱️⌨️💻 I'm so excited for everyone to play with what we've been building!

We've just announced that Vercept is joining Anthropic [1]. I’m beyond excited and wanted to provide some personal color on why now and why Anthropic. There are many reasons why I chose to start Vercept with my co-founders. Some prosaic: I was ready for something new. Some personality-driven: I love building things with a focused group of brilliant people, working with my co-founders and everyone who joined us has been some of the most fun I've had in my life. And some more grand: AI is set to radically change the world and building a startup felt like one of the few ways to have a say in what this future will look like. So what changed? When we started this company, the best models at the time were just barely useful for coding. A year later, Claude writes code that is almost always better than my own. I thought we were at least another year or two away from an Opus 4.6 level model: I was wrong. I don't think that the general public has caught up to these changes. When I speak to some of my brilliant friends who work outside of AI, they tell me about their middling experience with some copilot tools or how they have fun speaking with chatbots but they're too unreliable to be valuable beyond entertainment. As someone who works with these models constantly, this attitude surprises me. Seeing this last year's progress, I can now easily imagine a future world in which Claude completes knowledge work tasks at the same level it codes today: better than myself, most of the time. What that really means is that how people work with their computers may fundamentally change, and getting that experience right matters as much as the underlying models. The benefits can be transformative [2], but only if we focus on the details: building AI that works alongside you on your actual computer, understands how you work, and acts transparently on your behalf. When I look at the landscape of frontier AI labs, Anthropic stands above all others in its dedication to a mission that values human flourishing and a deep respect for its responsibilities [3]. I did not expect to feel this written mission echo through every conversation I've had with those at Anthropic; the culture is really something special. At this moment, I feel that Anthropic is the best steward of AI: I want it to succeed. The above changed my internal calculus about how I can have the most leverage on the future to build safe and widely beneficial AI. With Vercept joining Anthropic, we have the opportunity to shape how the best AI models use computers to bring real value to the world. Vercept was on its way to the same goal but, with tremendous change coming in the near future, joining forces feels like the way to make the biggest difference when it matters most. I am so excited to join forces to build a world where we keep thinking.
