Episode notes
Claude Co-Work Adds Real World Control
- Anthropic's Claude Co-Work gives Claude control of mouse, keyboard, and screen to automate legacy apps and debugging tasks.
- Jaden says it currently runs slowly like "honey" but the capability to physically click and type is the major breakthrough.
Run Automation On A Dedicated Machine
- Enable Claude Co-Work and Dispatch in the Claude desktop app and use Dispatch to monitor and control the remote machine from your phone.
- Jaden recommends running it on a separate machine (old laptop or Mac mini) because it's slow and will occupy the computer while automating tasks.
Preauthorize Access To Avoid Interruptions
- Expect slowness and permission prompts; proactively grant needed access (clipboard, files, browser) to avoid repeated interruptions.
- Jaden added those permission steps into the skill so subsequent runs start with a checklist and proceed uninterrupted.
