## Resource

Anthropic's new Claude Co-Work and Dispatch features allow Claude to control your mouse, keyboard, and screen to automate desktop tasks. While currently slow and requiring significant setup, the tool offers a powerful way for non-coders to build persistent automation 'skills'.

## Highlights
- Main idea: Claude Co-Work enables the AI to interact directly with desktop applications like CapCut and web browsers
- Practical takeaway: Use the 'Save as Skill' feature to document successful workflows, preventing the AI from having to re-learn steps
- Failure mode: The current execution speed is very slow, often feeling like 'moving through honey' during complex tasks
- Practical takeaway: Deploy Claude on a separate, dedicated computer to run background automations like newsletter generation or research
- Main idea: Dispatch allows for remote monitoring and instruction of your computer's automation via a mobile device
