Episode notes
Claude Can Control Your Whole Computer
- Anthropic's Claude Co-Work lets Claude control mouse, keyboard, and screen to interact with any app on your computer.
- Jaeden Schafer notes it's slow by design now but unlocks agent-level automation across native and legacy apps.
Turn On Co-Work And Use Dispatch For Remote Control
- Enable Claude Co-Work and Dispatch in the Claude desktop app settings and install the app (not just the browser) to allow remote control.
- Use Dispatch to sync to your phone so Claude can run tasks while you're away and you can monitor or interact remotely.
Running End-to-End Workflows Including Video Editing
- Jaeden used Claude to log into websites, run AI Box boxes, and pull outputs into larger workflows across sites.
- He also had Claude open CapCut, import files, and begin editing video, demonstrating multi-step GUI automation.
