Overview

How it was set up

Claude with the Computer Use beta, accessed via API. It took screenshots, then drove the mouse and keyboard in a browser and spreadsheet app.

Worth knowing

The system is quite slow. Mollick found no obvious errors but says there may be some, and notes reliability concerns.

A prompt to start from

Put together a lesson plan on [book] for [grade level] students. Break it into readable chunks, create assignments tied to [learning standard], and put everything in a single spreadsheet.
