Got Claude Computer Use to "build a Timer app" from scratch! —downloaded React + deps —wrote the code —opened local server (in a Docker VM) —fixed its own styling —TESTED it fully —restyled it like an iPhone —fixed a syntax error Software engineering will not be the same. 1/4

Observations: — The new Claude Sonnet has been RLHF'd to not do a bunch of things like fill forms, solve captchas or login to pages. — It's still slow. This video took ~7mins in realtime, was sped up 16x — New abilities I hadn't seen before: point + click, bulk copy strings 2/4

— This demo loads Ubuntu in a Docker image. UI is nowhere like the demo videos, and its a bit clunky. 120s timeout, you can't tell the progress of longer running bash tasks. — Managed to build backend + frontend apps — Can learn how to use APIs from the internet 3/4

So much interesting stuff can be built on top of this for the first time ever. If you like hacking on this, apply quickly to join us on Nov 2 for the Menlo x Anthropic Builder Day 2024 (sadly Computer Use can't fill this form for you yet)! 4/4

Wow, a timer.

good demo. I feel like Claude is on to something very interesting. I can't wait it to replace old RPA in legacy enterprises

Great demo Deedy! One observation I’ve made while working with browsers is that screenshots are often taken and processed even when pages are still loading, resulting in unnecessary token usage and computation costs. By ensuring that screenshots are only captured after the page has fully loaded, we could significantly reduce compute overhead and improve efficiency.

Its better at everyday tasks than coding imp

🤣

Much dev. Very wow

post so the x algo finally only shows me ai content
