What did Anthropic post?

The post came from @claudeai on March 23, 2026 at 21:38 UTC. It opens with "You can now enable Claude to use your computer to complete tasks."

The second paragraph reads "It opens your apps, navigates your browser, fills in spreadsheets" and then names a few more things a person does at a desk. The third gives the status: "Research preview in Claude Cowork and Claude Code, macOS only."

How was the post built?

The text is three short paragraphs, each a single idea. The first says what changed, the second says what it does, the third says who can use it today.

The media is one video, 73 seconds long, at 3840 by 2160 pixels. The text has no link in it, so the whole announcement lives inside the post.

The caveats sit in the last line. Research preview and macOS only are stated up front instead of left for the replies.

This launch against the median of 942 launches in Gridd's tracker.

Why did a post with 2.08M followers get 78.4M views?

About 38 views per follower is more than 13 times the median of 2.9. A post only gets that far when people outside the account see it.

The quote tweets are the visible part of that. At 10.7K, there is about 1 quote tweet for every 7,300 views, and each one carries the post into a new feed.

The post does not say how the rest arrived, and we do not guess at it here.

What should a founder copy from it?

None of this needs a big account. It needs a post that someone can understand in 5 seconds and repeat in their own words.

How would this launch run with creators quote tweeting it?

Gridd gets 60 to 100 personal-brand creators to quote tweet a launch post inside the first hour, from a network of 1,000+ founders, engineers and builders on X. The views come from real people's feeds.
