Claude Co-Work Lets Claude Control Your Desktop
- Anthropic's Claude Co-Work gives Claude mouse, keyboard, and screen control so it can interact with any app on your desktop.
- Jaeden Schafer notes this unlocks automating legacy apps and debugging native apps by letting Claude click buttons and type directly on your machine.
Turn On Co-Work And Dispatch In The Desktop App
- Enable both Claude Co-Work and Dispatch in the Claude desktop app settings and install the native app (not just the browser) to allow full control.
- Use Dispatch to sync the desktop to your phone so you can monitor and command Claude remotely while away from the computer.
Daylong Workflow: From Websites To CapCut Edits
- Jaeden ran a full-day automation where Claude logged into sites, used AI Box tools, and edited videos in CapCut by opening the app, importing files, and following his instructions.
- The process required iterative prompts, accepting permission pop-ups, and eventually saving the flow as a reusable skill file.
