[FEATURE] Always-on personal assistant mode (like Meta Muse / Grok Bot)
Preflight Checklist
- [x] I have searched existing requests and this feature hasn't been requested yet
- [x] This is a single feature request (not multiple features)
Problem Statement
I use Claude Code every day to run a small family business (short videos, e-commerce, customer chats). It is already the best tool I have for doing real work on my computer.
But competitors now ship always-on personal agents (Meta Muse, Grok Bot, and OpenAI's rumored "o"). They keep working after the app is closed, proactively check in, and can handle real-world errands like phone calls. With Claude, I still have to start a session, stay near my computer, and switch to other tools for calls, images and video.
Proposed Solution
An always-on personal assistant mode for Claude:
- Keeps working in the background after I close the app, and proactively reminds me of things.
- Can make phone calls and send SMS on my behalf (ask suppliers for quotes, negotiate prices, book appointments), then reports back with a transcript.
- Can generate images and short videos natively, without driving third-party tools.
- Always asks for my approval before sensitive actions (payments, sending messages).
- Available outside the US. I'm based in Southeast Asia, where Muse isn't available.
Alternative Solutions
Today I combine Cowork scheduled tasks, Dispatch, computer use in Claude Code, and third-party tools for images and video. It works, but it is fragmented, and there is no way for Claude to place a phone call or send an SMS for me.
Priority
Medium - Would be very helpful

Use Case Example
- In the morning I ask Claude to get quotes from three packaging suppliers.
- It calls or messages each one, compares prices, and negotiates within a budget I set.
- It sends me a summary on my phone and waits for my approval before placing any order.
- Meanwhile it keeps drafting next week's short videos in the background.
Additional Context
Similar products: Meta Muse (US/Canada only, supports outbound calls), Grok Bot (persistent cloud computer per bot).
Claude is already the best at doing real work on my computer. An always-on assistant with calling would make it my only AI tool.
