Anthropic Tests "Lobster" Conway: Supports Independent UI, Webhook Activation, and Custom Extension Standards
Anthropic is actively developing "Conway," a persistent agent solution designed to provide Claude with an always-on, independently running intelligent environment. It features a standalone UI instance, operating as a traditional chat interface and more of a dedicated workspace. Conway can directly control browsers, connect to external services, and integrate Claude Code for deeper code execution and task handling. It supports Webhook-based invocation, enabling external services or events to trigger automated workflows. Additionally, Conway will support for extensions through the upcoming CNW ZIP standard, allowing developers to build custom tools, UI tabs, and context handlers, similar to an app store ecosystem. This enhancement aims to transform Claude from a reactive conversational tool into a proactive, multi-step task assistant, positioning it as a strong competitor in the AI agent space and advancing the trend toward always-on AI capabilities.
