Anthropic's Overnight Shocking Upgrade: Claude Gets "Permanent Online," Transforming the Global Workforce

Introduction】More powerful than Claude Code and more autonomous than Cowork. Conway's permanent online environment marks Anthropic's official declaration of war: the era of passive chatting is over. Claude will live in your computer, observe the world for you, and make decisions for you!

Anthropic, which has stirred up the entire Silicon Valley, continues to launch new bombs.

Just today, sources revealed that Anthropic is secretly testing a nuclear - level product - the "Always - On" intelligent agent Conway.

That is to say, from now on, Claude will completely become a "lobster"!

Generally speaking, the details of this exposed internal test are extremely informative:

1. Independent living space: A dedicated sidebar UI, no longer parasitic in the chat window.

2. Webhook wake - up: The world's first Always - On agent that supports external wake - up. AI starts to perceive the world autonomously.

3. Direct browser connection: Deeply integrated with Chrome, Claude directly takes over your Internet access permissions.

4. Agent - exclusive extension protocol: The .cnw.zip standard is launched to define the "genetic standard" of AI intelligent agents.

5. The ambition to benefit 95%: In cooperation with the Cowork general intelligent agent, the goal is all non - technical professionals in the workplace.

The information in this exposed Anthropic internal test is extremely rich: Anthropic's goal is not only to create a better programming assistant, nor just to create Claude's "lobster" KAIROS. The ultimate goal is to create a new operating system for AI (OS for AI).

The new products that Anthropic will launch in the future will far exceed Claude Code and go beyond the imagination of most people!

After the news broke, it piqued netizens' curiosity and expectations, and they couldn't wait!

This is not just a feature update. It is a dimensionality - reduction strike on the species of "chatbots".

From now on, Claude will transform from a "on - call" tool into a "never - off - work" digital life.

The new era of AI: The "ghost cursor" at cyber midnight

Today's AI is more like a "sleeping beauty". If you don't wake it up (input a prompt), it will remain in a static state.

But Conway completely breaks this "passivity".

According to the disclosure, Conway resides permanently in the system or browser in the form of a "sidebar". It has an independent UI instance, marking Claude's official evolution from one - time conversations to the persistent, event - driven Always - On mode.

It is no longer just a web page, but a "cyber avatar" running in your system. It doesn't need you to be online; it is always online itself.

Imagine it's three o'clock in the morning.

The study at home is pitch - black, but the monitor on the table suddenly glows faintly. On the screen, the cursor doesn't stay still in the center as usual, but starts to shuttle autonomously between the complex tables like a brain.
