Claude AI Agent Control my Computer - Here is How !
Science & Technology
Introduction
Today, we embark on an exciting journey into one of the latest advancements in artificial intelligence: Anthropic's Claude AI. This remarkable AI now possesses the capability to control a computer just like a human. It can navigate through screens, click buttons, type text, and perform a range of tasks. To put this feature to the ultimate test, we will challenge Claude with three complex tasks.
Task Overview
Research the News and Write a YouTube Script: We will see if Claude can gather the latest information and compose a coherent script.
Code the Classic Tetris Game in Python: This task tests Claude's coding abilities and problem-solving skills as it creates a fully functional game from scratch.
Code the Snake Game in Python: Continuing the gaming theme, we will check if Claude can develop another well-known game.
Getting Started
Before we dive into the tasks, ensure that you have Docker and a g client installed on your system. Download links will be provided in the video description. Once installed, open the command prompt and execute the command to clone and download the code from GitHub. You'll see the code download progress in a new folder.
After the download completes, change the directory by typing:
cd anthropic/quick-starts/computer-use-demo
To verify that Docker Desktop is running, type:
docker version
If successful, you should see the current software version. If not, you may need to revisit your installation. Next, use the command shared in the video description to launch Computer Use. During the first run, Docker will download the necessary containers and files.
On subsequent runs, launching Computer Use will present a user interface where you can interact with Claude. You’ll find a chat window for inputting instructions and a Docker console displaying the agent's actions.
Task 1: Researching News and Writing a YouTube Script
Let's start with a straightforward task: instruct Claude to search for articles about its computer use model using Firefox. We’ll ask it to collect the top five most relevant articles and incorporate them into a YouTube script in LibreOffice.
As we input this command, Claude autonomously opens Firefox, bypasses any dialog boxes, and searches for the required information. After gathering the articles, it switches to LibreOffice and composes a draft with a personal touch and a sign-off as “the best AI.” While the formatting may not be perfect, the script provides a solid foundation.
Task 2: Coding the Tetris Game
Feeling adventurous, we moved on to testing Claude’s coding ability by asking it to create a playable version of the classic Tetris game using Python. Claude quickly began by installing the necessary packages, demonstrating remarkable speed in its coding capabilities.
However, an issue arose: the game did not end as intended when blocks reached the top. After identifying the bug, we prompted Claude to fix it. Impressively, it jumped back into the code and updated the logic to resolve the problem. Finally, we accessed the game controls, allowing us to play, and the mechanics operated smoothly.
Task 3: Coding the Snake Game
Riding on the success of Tetris, we requested Claude to write a Snake game in Python. Before running it, we asked to review the code. Again, Claude started by installing Pygame, wrote the game code, and executed it successfully.
Enabling the screen control allowed us to play Snake seamlessly, showcasing Claude's efficiency in executing complex coding tasks autonomously. This experience has not only amazed us but also demonstrated Claude's capabilities in handling sophisticated instructions.
Conclusion
The performance of Claude in these tasks was truly outstanding. From researching and drafting a script to coding two popular games, the AI showed remarkable skill and efficiency in various scenarios. Stay tuned for more updates on advancements in AI, and don't forget to like and subscribe!
