Anthropic’s Cat Wu says that, in the future, AI will anticipate your needs before you know what they are

# AI Will Soon Know What You Need Before You Ask Anthropic, the company behind the AI assistant Claude, believes the next major shift will be AI that anticipates your needs rather than just responding when you ask. Instead of waiting for you to request help, these systems would proactively suggest solutions or take action based on understanding your situation—similar to how a good assistant might prepare materials before a meeting without being asked. This shift from reactive to proactive AI could save professionals time and help them work more efficiently.
The head of product for Claude Code and Cowork says that the next big step for AI is proactivity.
