AI agents are leveling up—and fast! Robert and Haley dive into Claude’s new Computer Use feature, which has developers buzzing and rethinking what's possible with AI. Imagine an AI assistant that can read, analyze, automate, and even run commands directly on your computer. These aren’t hypothetical scenarios—these are real, practical applications developers are testing and using right now.

In this episode, we cover the 8 wildest ways people are putting Claude’s capabilities to the test:

  • Hands-Free Reporting: Claude analyzes video content, flags issues, and compiles detailed reports.
  • Personal Computer Control: With simple setup instructions, you can have Claude perform actions directly on your machine, from launching applications to executing complex tasks.
  • AI-Powered Coding Assistance: For VSCode users, the new Cline extension integrates Claude seamlessly, allowing it to write, test, and even troubleshoot code hands-free.
  • Autoplay for Everything: Meet Autoplay, a tool that automates any workflow through Claude, allowing you to build out multi-step processes without touching your mouse or keyboard.
  • Cloud Browser Capabilities: Claude Browser can search, navigate, and organize information online autonomously—no local install needed.

Haley and Robert discuss the practical and slightly mind-blowing possibilities of Claude as it assists in everything from creating spreadsheets to controlling Unity tasks, reading long articles, summarizing, and even emailing insights. We also dig into security and reliability questions surrounding these advanced AI-driven automation tools and ask the big question: How far will AI go in becoming a true digital co-pilot?

Get ready to explore the new frontier of AI-driven automation and what it means for the future of productivity and computer interaction.
