Claude for thinking and writing. Prompteryx for repeatable browser work.
Claude, made by Anthropic, is one of the strongest AI assistants for reasoning, writing and coding, and it can now browse in your Chrome, use your computer and run scheduled tasks. Prompteryx is an automation platform that can run Claude models inside workflows you can see, edit and replay without AI costs, on cloud browsers or your own Chrome.

What is Claude?
Claude is Anthropic's AI assistant, on the web, desktop (macOS and Windows) and mobile. Claude in Chrome is an extension for paid plans that lets Claude browse in your own Chrome; you can record a workflow, save it as a shortcut and schedule it. The desktop app's Cowork mode has a built-in browser and can use your computer. Scheduled tasks run in Anthropic's cloud even when your laptop is closed, started by a schedule (at most hourly), an API call or a GitHub event. Claude connects to apps through connectors: its directory lists over 1,000. Anthropic created the Model Context Protocol (MCP), and developers can use computer use, Claude Code and the Claude Agent SDK. Plans: Free, Pro ($20 a month, or $17 billed yearly), Max (from $100 a month), Team and Enterprise.
What Prompteryx does differently
Replays without AI costs
A successful Prompteryx run can be saved as a workflow that replays its browser steps without calling an AI model. Claude's shortcuts and scheduled tasks use the model, and your plan's usage, on every run.
A canvas you can edit
Visual Studio shows every step of a workflow on a drag-and-drop canvas with 80+ browser actions, branches, loops and app steps, so you can see and change exactly what runs. In Claude, you describe the task and the model decides the steps each time.
Cloud browsers built for automation
Prompteryx runs browsers in the cloud with residential proxies, automatic CAPTCHA solving and a video of each run, so browser workflows keep going with your computer off. Claude's browsers (Claude in Chrome and the Cowork browser) run on your own computer.
Use Claude inside Prompteryx
Prompteryx's chat and workflows can use Claude models alongside GPT and Gemini, or let Auto choose. Prompteryx's MCP server also lets Claude start Prompteryx workflows and cloud browser tasks.

When Claude is the better choice
- You want an AI assistant for thinking, writing, analysis and coding: that is what Claude does best.
- One-off browser tasks in your own Chrome, or tasks that need other apps on your computer (computer use).
- Your team already works in Claude with its connectors, Projects and Team plan.
In short
Claude is an outstanding assistant, and it is increasingly able to act: browsing in your Chrome, using your computer and running scheduled tasks in the cloud. Prompteryx is built for the browser work that repeats: a run becomes a workflow you can see and edit, it replays without AI costs, and it runs on cloud browsers with proxies, CAPTCHA solving and recordings. You don't have to choose: Prompteryx can use Claude models, and Claude can call Prompteryx through MCP.
Frequently asked questions
Can Claude automate tasks in a browser?
Yes. Claude in Chrome (on paid plans) lets Claude browse in your own Chrome, and you can save a recorded workflow as a shortcut and schedule it. The Claude desktop app's Cowork mode has a built-in browser and can use your computer. These browsers run on your own computer (checked 25 October 2026).
Can Claude run tasks on a schedule?
Yes. Claude's scheduled tasks run in Anthropic's cloud, even with your laptop closed, and can be started by a schedule (at most hourly), an API call or a GitHub event. They use the model on each run. A saved Prompteryx workflow replays its browser steps without calling a model.
Can I use Claude and Prompteryx together?
Yes, in two ways. Pick a Claude model in Prompteryx's chat or in workflow AI steps. Or connect Prompteryx's MCP server to Claude, so Claude can start Prompteryx workflows and cloud browser tasks (setup: prompteryx.ai/mcp-setup).
Does Claude support MCP?
Anthropic created the Model Context Protocol in November 2024 and gave it to the Linux Foundation's Agentic AI Foundation in December 2025. Claude connects to apps through MCP connectors, and Prompteryx offers an MCP server Claude can use.
