CLAUDE COWORK · COMPUTER USE
Claude Cowork Alternative: Keep Claude, Add a Widget Canvas
Claude Cowork / computer-use is Anthropic’s agent-on-a-computer story. VibeFuse does not replace Claude. It hosts official Claude Code beside other CLIs and lets the Vibe Agent drive custom widgets Claude cannot install from our marketplace onto Anthropic’s machine.
Honest comparison
When the other tool wins
Stay in Claude Cowork or claude.ai/code when you want Anthropic’s hosted computer-use and a single-vendor loop.
Use VibeFuse when…
Use VibeFuse when Claude Code should sit next to Codex and Cursor, plus marketplace widgets and local voice, without paying for a second harness.
Price
Anthropic seats stay Anthropic’s. VibeFuse is $0. You are not charged twice for the canvas.
Skills & portability
Claude already understands SKILL.md. Marketplace saves land in C:\vibefuse\skills — the same format.
