## Resource

Anthropic's new Claude Co-Work and Dispatch features enable Claude to control your mouse, keyboard, and screen to automate desktop tasks. While currently slow, the tool offers a powerful way for non-developers to build complex, repeatable workflows.

## Highlights
- Main idea: Claude Co-Work allows 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: For maximum efficiency, run these automations on a dedicated separate computer or via remote dispatch
- Main idea: This tool is a game-changer for no-coders looking to implement AI agents without writing complex scripts
