Клауд Комп'ютер Юз: як хакати AI для автоматизації бізнесу

So, Enthropic just released computer use, which is basically where you give Claude access to your browser and your keyboard. And a lot of people out there are using this for silly toy demos like how to organize your file, workspace, or whatever the heck. In this video, I want to show you eight ways you can actually apply computer usage to real economically valuable tasks, like for instance, reaching out to tens of thousands of people automatically in a highly personalized way using my browser. So, I'm going to start with a brief demo and then I'm going to show you guys how you guys can set this up on your end. We're also going to be bypassing Anthropic's built-in uh read block, which basically is where they don't allow you to use your browser for incoming rights. Uh I'll show you guys how to do that and then I'll also show you guys how to set it up in case you guys want to know. Okay, first and foremost, what's going on here? Uh I'm on LinkedIn and what I'm doing is I'm sending connection requests, which are the way that you sort of do outreach on LinkedIn. And one thing to note is that LinkedIn inherently blocks the vast majority of browser automation because it's obviously in their interest to maintain a highly human sort of environment, right? Most social media platforms will do this. Instagram does this. Uh you know X is going to do this. Uh Facebook and and so on and so forth. And so any sort of like automation of this task is pretty difficult to do in practice. And you'll receive some sort of either major platform block or you know you're just going to run into some form of issue. computer just basically negates that for you entirely. If you feed in the right prompt and then use the right browser analog, you can have whatever automation you want done basically constantly for you in the background. And I foresee a future where we all have a 100 Mac minis or whatever the heck is the the trending item pretty soon where stuff like this is occurring on autopilot all the time. How do you actually do this? Well, I'm just going to open up my thread here, and you'll see that what I've done is I've said, I want you to use computer use to control my computer and send connection requests to people on this page with the min browser, which has full readr access. That's important because Anthropic automatically blocks the usage of Chrome, Safari, Firefox, and most other major browser tools for this. Then I say customize each connection request so it doesn't suck. Use a connect request like, hey, first name, saw, casual version of company name, and I think we'd vibe quite a bit given our interests. So, when I have computer use on, as you guys could see, the browser looks a little bit different, right? We have sort of that like yellow outline and it's actually like controlling my mouse. What it's doing is a variant of what it's already capable of doing with like Chrome DevTools MCP or whatever where it takes a screenshot and then, you know, it like kind of controls it. But you can see that at any point in time, I can just jump in and make minor adjustments and so on and so forth. And, you know, as long as I'm not doing that while it's doing something super valuable or important, it sort of figures it out on its own. So, that's use case number one. And I just showed you guys it on LinkedIn, but I want to show you guys just how many other platforms you can do this on as well. Um, obviously a big one here is Instagram. I know sending Instagram DMs automatically is obviously very high in demand and you know a lot of people want to want to do that. But the same thing applies to any other platform. So you could do this on X.com um despite the fact that I don't think Facebook is a great place for this stuff. You can also automate Facebook entirely. Then obviously you could do this on other platforms like um I don't know Tik Tok and you know short form and so on and so forth. The way that you do this to make a long story short is one you install a browser that not a lot of people have heard about. A browser that is not on the block list. Anthropic current block list I think is uh Chrome is uh Chrome. I think it's also Safari and then they also do obviously Edge and Firefox. Min is a simple free and straightforward browser that I'm not affiliated with at all. It was just the first one that I tried that wasn't part of this block list. And what I'm doing is I have Min set up here. I then logged into my LinkedIn account and then I just gave it a list of all of the different, you know, leads I want to actually uh uh, you know, send requests to. And in my case, I did this pretty straightforwardly. I just pumped in the term AI automation into my LinkedIn, sorted by people, and then I just have it going. Now, I should note that, you know, most of these platforms have outreach limits. So, you can't actually send like five quadrillion pieces of outreach automatically. You'd need either multiple accounts to do this or, I don't know, some other sort of like black hat method. And I don't recommend doing that. You know, I don't recommend overly gaming these social media platforms because there's obviously downsides and, you know, a fair amount of risks. Um, but you can apply the exact same approach to whatever the heck you want. After that, you just feed the list. And then perhaps most importantly, you have some form of what we in the cold outreach business call an icebreaker, which is some sort of like kind of quasi customized template that allows AI the ability to fill in variables dynamically. And so in my case, what I did if I go back to co-work is I said use a connect request like hey first name saw a casual version of company name and I think we'd vibe quite a bit given our interests. You can insert or replace whatever variables you want here. It'll work pretty reasonably so long as claude obviously has access to information about that. My next major use case is going to be scraping social media for posts and then saving that to a local file which I can then feed into I don't know cloud code or some other future thing in order to like generate content on my end. Now the issue with doing a lot of this stuff organically is obviously one it takes a fair amount of time but then two there's no like API based way to plug this into a workflow. You either have to have like a virtual assistant or somebody do it or you have to do some sort of hacky workaround. What I'm doing with cloud computer use is I'm giving it a really simple and straightforward query just saying scrape my LinkedIn feed for 10 posts about AI and then save the trending ones to a file for me with computer use. Uh and it's just going through right now basically taking screenshots and then also saving the text to a file. Um after I'm done with that I could use the file for whatever I want. So, some really cool use cases for this. Obviously, there's like trending news scraper style systems, which is personally what I'm using this for. Uh, but there are a variety of other ones as well. You could try like a parasite based system, which goes through somebody's social media platforms. Again, you know, on platforms that do not explicitly allow or explicitly prevent any sort of browser automation, and then get the text. You could feed that text into AI to have it like rewritten. You could um save photos and stuff like that by right-clicking the pictures saying, you know, save as and so on and so forth. and then eventually just have like a big file set up that you can, you know, then plug into your own content calendar. Once you're done, you then get a list of trending AI posts and then you can do whatever the heck you want with these posts. In my case, maybe I'm going to use these trending posts to create some parasite content or whatever and then use that to rank on LinkedIn. My next use case is going to be giving it a list of forms. So, in my case, I'm just going to use dentist, but you guys could do whatever the heck you want. Contact forms for agencies, uh, I don't know, big people to get in touch with, whatever. And then just have it actually reach out to them by filling out those forms. And this is valuable because a big chunk of the internet right now is like gatewalled by contact forms and so on and so forth. You can't find people's emails, but you can get a contact form. And so you can use or have computer use um actually control your browser, click buttons and so on and so forth to one mitigate the appearance of captures and other things while also two um filling it out in like a human natural way with you know your browser and stuff. So in this case I said with computer use fill these forms out. Loose info gave it my name and so on and so forth. You know, initially it tried using Chrome. The reason why is because it always tries just using the specific um thing that it's connected to. What I'm going to do now is I'm actually just going to go into the min browser again. It's going to open up some new tabs, I imagine, using the URLs that I gave. And again, it's literally using my my keyboard, which is why it's so cool. And then it's going to try and uh you know, fill out their forms and stuff. So, here's a simple walk-in dental clinic. You know, it's like a new patient form. And it's just going to go top to bottom and click on everything. Just started by closing the chat widget. And now it's going to start with the what looks like first name, last name, and then work through each field. I should note that, you know, a couple of these input fields are pretty dynamic, right? One of these is like a birth year uh or birth date picker. It's not very straightforward. What it's done is it's just like clicked on four things in like 2 seconds for me. And it's just working its way top to bottom. And when all said and done, it then fills out the form and then submits it. The next one's going to be managing ad platforms without API access. So think of things like Google Ads or Meta Ads or Tik Tok ads. like these platforms all lock down their ads stuff really really strongly and then they also just make it a pain in the ass if you do have any sort of API access. Um the reason why is obviously they just don't want like a fleet of agents that control everything completely automatically. But what's wild is with computer use you can do that and you can make a fair amount of money in the interim by automating all of that stuff before you know they catch up. So this is one of the companies that I run and we do ads for a fair number of dentists across the Canada area. We typically generate rorowasses anywhere between 8 to 10x. So very strong stuff. And let's just say I want to automate the process of I don't know like turning off ads that aren't very good. So in my case, maybe I want to click through all new patient video ads in the current ads manager page and then find the cost per lead. I want the inside view. So I actually want it like inside uh not just on this little dashboard. And then I just wanted to turn off the lowest performers. Obviously I could standardize this in like a bajillion different ways. Hopefully that's clear. I don't just have to do it like super loosely like find the best ads. I could have strict SOPs where it's like find the top three performing ads, find the lowest five performing ads, and so on and so forth. But just like I use my own computer and my mouse to do this, I could do this with computer use controlling everything. This reminds me of like those Tesla self-driving ads, but like my hands up here, so I don't know, it's finding the new leads ad, you know, it's seeing that there's no budget and then maybe it's turning it on or it's turning it off. Hopefully you guys get the point. You can automate the large majority of more or less any valuable knowledge work like this. I think honestly the thing that I'm coming to realize is the more important thing than actually just like having a list of things to automate is just knowing what to automate and then having a pre-existing like SOP for that. Um so believe it or not like the big businesses are going to have the most success with this stuff. Uh not necessarily, you know, the small ones, but anyway, here's it going through clicking on my adsets and and stuff like that, finding the highest performers and then enabling them or disabling them. Another cool use case is uploading and then managing things for YouTube. very similar idea. So, I'm not going to show it here, but what you can do is in my case, you know, I record a lot of videos via OBS. That's what you guys are watching right now. Um, previously, in order for me to automate the process of uploading them to YouTube, I had to use the YouTube API or I had to use some sort of thirdparty service that connected with YouTube like a phonic. And the issue behind uploading things automatically to social media platforms via API is like the the current consensus is they will block you or significantly restrict your reach if you do it automatically again because they don't want automatically generated content. and they want like real user generated content, people to actually click buttons. Well, now you can just have computer use do it for you. You can automate the process. Then you can also get all of the upside of like having organic reach and brand. The next use case is going to be pretty straightforward. I'm just going to have it compile a bunch of invoices to me locally on my computer. Obviously, I could do this manually and uh there probably some API based ways I could do this as well, but uh this uses the exact same interface that I do. Very similar to like a humanoid robot. Why do we make humanoid robots nowadays? Because despite the fact that other types of robots are probably better, our natural environment is geared towards like humanoids, right? So humanoid robots obviously, despite not being perfect at any one thing, can do everything, which is valuable. In my case, I just have it grabbing the first Appify billing invoice because I pay them for the automation of a few other things that I do. And then it's just going to save that to an invoices folder. $49. Good lord. What's funny is I think I was right across the street from their office when I was in Prague. That's wild. I didn't realize they were headquartered down there. Anyway, it's um scrolling down now and then uh sorry, I didn't want to show you guys my address or anything, but it went through it and downloaded it and now um you know, it's in my downloads folder right over here. You can also have it automate some desktop apps as well. Now, this is sort of like the more boring use cases that most other people have shown on YouTube videos, but still pretty interesting. You can have it automate like Premiere Pro, for instance, to identify um low waveform points on a graph and then actually cut right at like the lowest point. You could have it do a combination of like terminal based commands and then I'm just thinking about video editing because I do a lot of video editing right now. GUI based commands to both shorten it uh you know have Premiere Pro generate captions for you slap the captions on the video automatically and then do a couple of other things. Uh you know really the sky's is the limit there and unfortunately there's just so many different products that we could use there. I don't feel like I'd do a substantiative of positive service by demoing just a couple of mine. Okay. And then finally uh QA testing because we are using our mouse and our keyboard here. Uh we are going to be interacting with the screen with pod in a very similar way in which a human would realistically interact with the screen. A lot of the ways that people have been doing some sort of um QA testing so far has been using like Chrome DevTools MCP or browser automation. And that's okay because you know it still like does things on the computer, but it doesn't do so in a way that a human being might. For instance, it like doesn't click specific parts of the page, right? What it'll do is it'll like run JavaScript that simulates a click event. So what I've done here is I've said, "Hey, I want you to QA test nix.com. Go through my entire signup flow, try to break it, screenshot every step. The goal is some form of real user simulation. I just want you to actually like do it the way that I would do it. And you can see that it's uh it's going to try and break it in like a million different ways. And the reason why this is valuable is because sometimes there are like buttons on a page or features in an app that aren't immediately accessible to something like a browser automation version. Personally, I think this is what like a lot of big teams have probably been doing for at least a little while. Uh I would almost guarantee you the anthropic team in particular has probably been using it to like stress test their products. But it's going to start clicking various buttons. It's going to try all the different validation approaches and so on and so forth. And this isn't a product. It's just my own personal website. But hopefully you guys can see how you'd be able to scale up an approach like this to make it as uh as substantiative as you want. All right, so how do you actually get this set up? It's actually really straightforward. First of all, this is in research preview mode. So some of the features that I just showed you may be invalidated if you're watching this video like 2 or 3 months from now. Um but realistically, all you really need to do is just like download and then install the Claude Code desktop app. So you can do that by just going to cla app. Okay, give that button a quick click. You'll go to the downloads page and then we have a couple of different options here depending on if you guys are on like Mac OS or Windows. In my case, I'm on Mac OS. So, I'm just going to click download on cloud desktop. That's going to open up this page in the top right hand corner. You can see it done this a couple of times cuz I wanted to reinstall it. Then, um all you do is you drag the Claude app over to applications. I'm not going to do that cuz it's going to reinstall it for me. And, you know, I already have it installed. And then just type claude to actually open up the app. Once you're done with that, you'll have access to three different tabs: chat, co-work, and code. Um, right now it's available for co-work and code, not inherently chat. But in order to do this, just go to co-work and then now you can basically say, "Hey, do x, y, and z." It may not be enabled for you guys right off the bat. If that's the case, head over to settings first and then underneath general, scroll all the way down to where it says browser use and computer use. Enable browser use cuz that'll allow it to use the chro the clawed Chrome extension, which allows it to do some browser stuff. And then also enable computer use, which allows it to take screenshots and control your keyboard and mouse in apps that you allow. then you can do any of the demos you know that I say and you know just in order to maximize the probability that it actually uses the computer use feature I have so far just been appending or prepending my requests with the term computer use otherwise sometimes I'll just try doing API stuff the reason why is probably because it's very token intensive and I'm I'm sure they'll figure out ways to make it less token intensive over time but right now this is the simplest manner okay and then the last thing is you need some sort of browser app that does both read and write access uh the one that I'm using right now is called minbrowser.org or if this does for whatever reason get patched or whatever, you can also just look up other browsers that are safe, hopefully open source. That would be ideal. The way I did that is I just went into cloud code and I said like find me 20 different browsers and uh you know, one of those ended up working. Okay, so that's it. Hopefully you guys appreciated this look and how to actually make money with cloud computer use. It's not just fancy toy demos here, but you know, if you apply it to a couple of interesting workarounds, you can make some cool things happen and you can also take advantage of your browser fingerprinting and stuff like that. Aside from that, if you guys enjoyed this video, please subscribe to the channel. something like 70% of people aren't and I'm trying to grow as quickly as I can right now. So, you'd be doing me a big solid. Um, check out my 4-hour Claude code course for more on how to use Claude for economically valuable ends. And I will catch all y'all in the next video. See you.
