Restaurant search with computer use
Claude computer use: Claude's computer-use agent searched Google for vegetarian restaurants near Bond Street and saved results to a notepad file on a remote machine.
It created the text file as asked, but after clicking a result it took a screenshot too early and hallucinated the answer.
Overview
How it was set up
Anthropic's computer-use demo run in Docker with a Claude API key, started by one Terminal command and opened in a browser.
Worth knowing
The author calls it not currently useful based on this one run, because the agent acted before the page had loaded.
A prompt to start from
