Shopping & ErrandsDone with Claude computer use
Shop for Raspberry Pi parts on Amazon with Claude
Claude searched Amazon for a Raspberry Pi, asked about mic and speaker options, and added items to the basket in about 15 minutes, slower than manual.
- What They Did
- The author turned on Computer Use in the Claude desktop app on a Mac and granted accessibility and screen-recording permissions. They asked Claude to find parts for a local Home Assistant voice assistant on Amazon, checking review scores. Claude searched, paused to ask whether they wanted a basic USB mic and speaker or a ReSpeaker HAT, then clicked to add items to the basket. The author stayed signed out of Amazon.
- How It Went
- The basket held suitable, well-reviewed parts after about 15 minutes, but the author could have done it faster by hand. Session tool-call limits kept stopping it until they clicked Continue.
- Worth Knowing
- Computer Use is a macOS-only research preview for Pro and Max users. Leave Amazon signed out, since the author wouldn't let it near the buy button.

Search Amazon for the parts I need to build [project, e.g. a Raspberry Pi voice assistant], including [main board] and accessories like [microphone, speaker, power supply, case]. Ask me about options and compatibility where it matters, then add your picks to my basket. Pause before checkout and show me the list with prices; do not buy anything.
