Spotted: found in the wild. Details are as reported by the source above and have not been independently verified.
What they did
They had Claude apply for 50 jobs on their behalf, using Anthropic’s new Claude Computer Use feature, which lets Claude operate a computer directly rather than only answering in chat.
How it went
All 50 applications were done in less than 30 minutes, and they said Computer Use ‘is so good.’
Try it yourself with Claude
With Claude Computer Use enabled, give it your resume and a list of [job posting links]. Ask it to open each posting and fill in the application with your details and tailored answers, then show you each completed application for approval before it submits anything and moves on to the next link.
A starting prompt written by Agents in the Wild. Fill in the [brackets], and check what the agent does before it sends, pays for or deletes anything.
An unwieldy pile of Claude chats sent the writer looking for an organizer extension, but the only one they found was Chrome-only. Claude built one from scratch for Firefox instead.
Apple's built-in capture can't record the Mac's system audio, OBS felt clunky and Kap seemed untrustworthy. So they asked Claude to build a native app that did exactly what they needed. It took 4 minutes.
Mood, food, habits and sleep, logged daily for months. A Hermes agent writes end-of-day reports (they miss a lot), but asking Claude for correlations surfaced a pattern they'd never noticed.
It built the game from his description and kept adding his ideas. Then the file got too big, edits broke in a loop, and the parent had to step in: split the code into several files.
Alarms and reminders are easy to ignore. Claude built a Twilio script that calls before important appointments, reads out the message, and won't stop until they confirm. Set up in plain English.
Linux config files are where switching gets painful. Claude helped them pick Fedora, answered every setup question and had Claude Code write the scripts they'd never have bothered with.
