# Flight booking with computer use

Claude's computer use, running in a Docker container, opened Firefox and tried to book a New Delhi to Mumbai flight on MakeMyTrip.

Result: Claude opened MakeMyTrip, cleared a sign-in popup after a second prompt, and began filling the search fields; no finished booking is shown.

## How it was set up

Claude 3.5 Sonnet computer use demo from Anthropic's quickstart, run in Docker with an Anthropic API key, controlling a virtual desktop in the browser.

## Worth knowing

Beta tool. It struggled with the sign-in popup and hit errors until the author added a prompt to close it.

## Prompt

```text
Book my flights from [origin city] to [destination city] for [travel date].
```

## Evidence note

Author's walkthrough with screenshots and a demo GIF; booking completion unclear
