Claude computer use
A capability in Anthropic’s API. Developers write code around it and usually run it inside a separate virtual machine or container. It is powerful, but it is a building block, not an app.
Nubi
An installed Windows app. You write a request, approve steps and watch it work on your real desktop and browser. You can connect a Claude API key, and Nubi will prefer Claude for desktop tasks. You can also use Gemini, OpenAI or OpenRouter.
Which to choose
- You are building your own agent product: use the API directly.
- You want help with your own daily tasks today: use Nubi.
