What is Claude Computer Use and How Do I Use It (Beginner's Tutorial)

[@CharlesBlair]

Thank you Bart, could you provide the link to get to the page that had all the Claude computer use cases prompts you showed, lastly how can we get your step-by-step guide

[@BartSlodyczka]

Hey Charles, here are those use case and instruction sections from the page: Real-World Uses Let me show you some amazing things you can do: - "Hey Claude, check these 20 websites and make sure they all have contact info" - "Analyze my sales spreadsheet and tell me what to stock next month" - "Go through these 50 job applications and find the best candidates" Perfect for: - Automating repetitive tasks - Testing websites and software - Managing data across different programs How to Get Started You'll need: - Docker (a free program that creates the safe space Claude needs) - An Anthropic API key - A few commands to run in your terminal I'll show you exactly how to set this up in a minute, but first, let's see it in action! - Docker link: www.docker.com/ - Github link: github.com/anthropics/anthropic-quickstarts/tree/main/computer-use-demo Good luck legend 🚀

Thank you for making it easy for me to understand. Legend!

[@BartSlodyczka]

My pleasure 🙏

Thanks. This took me almost 5 hours to figure out. Something went wrong the first time, docker opened on two different browsers, then once I fixed that I realised you have to press the play button in the bottom left corner before you run the terminal, then I realised I incorrectly followed your api key steps. The terminal is full of previous errors, is there a way to delete them?

[@BartSlodyczka]

sounds like a long process, and I have definitely been there before! glad you figured it out in the end :) To clear the terminal, you can just close that terminal window and open up a new one. To re-run, just paste in the same code from the video (so the api key code, then the main claude code -- all from github) and then you'll be able to power up the web page again :) Hope this helps! Keep going 💪

@@BartSlodyczka I can only imagine the hours you have spent fixing errors. I am new to code, and apple os. If I create a new terminal how can I delete the current version? Thanks again.

[@mnasir99]

Thank you very much. You make it look so easy!

[@BartSlodyczka]

Thank you :)

Could this be used for QAQC to find bugs

[@BartSlodyczka]

I think so!

[@ribhisaleh87]

Can the virtual environment be done using Replit also?

[@BartSlodyczka]

I haven’t tried so I’m not 100% sure. You can’t run docker within replit, but replit does have its own “docker” solution. Would just need to play around with it

[@fabriziocasula]

hello, that's very interesting, a step forward, but bees are still too expensive for people. normal :-) what do you think?? it will be interesting an opensource project

[@BartSlodyczka]

Thanks! Yeah it's very expensive right now, but I'm just so excited this kind of stuff is even possible right now. In 6-12 months time, this will not only be much more affordable, but who knows where the tech will be 🚀
