Order pizza for a group with computer use
Anthropic engineers had Claude computer use navigate DoorDash and choose pizzas for a group.
- What They Did
- Anthropic engineers asked Claude's computer use feature, in public beta on Claude 3.5 Sonnet, to order enough food for a group. Claude navigated DoorDash on its own and picked the food. The source gives no detail on prompts, setup or human checks beyond the request.
- How It Went
- About a minute later, Claude had decided to order pizzas, according to Alex Albert's X post. The article gives no cost, order details or accuracy figures. Anthropic calls the tool experimental and error-prone.
- Worth Knowing
- Anthropic recommends a dedicated virtual machine, limited access to sensitive data, restricted internet domains, and a human in the loop for sensitive tasks, to guard against prompt injection.
