Research & KnowledgeDone with Claude computer use, Claude in Chrome
Research a blog post with Claude computer use
The author used Claude computer use with Claude in Chrome to research the post itself, suggesting starting with a logged-in site and a specific lookup.
- What They Did
- From the Claude app's Dispatch feature, the author sent one prompt asking Claude to open X, where he was already logged in, and find 2-4 posts worth writing about. Claude opened Chrome, scrolled his feed, and read the engagement numbers. It picked four posts, wrote an angle for each, then stopped and asked what to do next.
- How It Went
- It returned four post ideas with view and like counts in about 90 seconds. The author says he still has to choose the story and judge the angle. Anthropic calls the feature a research preview, so complex tasks may need a second try.
- Worth Knowing
- Needs a Claude Pro or Max plan, macOS, the desktop app awake and running, and the Claude in Chrome extension. Screen control is slower than a direct integration.
