Click through apps and upload photos in the browser
Users report Claude in Chrome following a user's flow in an app, opening the file picker and uploading a photo, and once playing through online course tutorials.
Done withClaude in Chrome
- What they did
- In the thread, one user says they use Claude in Chrome for smoke tests on a real app by having it click through the product, open the file picker, upload a photo, and follow the same path a user would. After Claude runs the flow in the browser, the person manually checks the database and storage to confirm the upload landed correctly; another commenter says they also run a defined regression suite this way against live dev or prod servers.
- How it went
- The reported benefit was QA on live apps using the current browser session and adapting to changing pages, rather than just summarizing pages. Another user also said they used it once to play through tutorials for an online course, but the thread gives no metrics or detailed results.
- Worth knowing
- The main catch in the thread is that people still verify outcomes themselves afterward, such as checking the database and storage manually.
Try it yourself with Claude in Chrome
In my browser, open [app or website URL] and walk through this flow: [describe the steps, e.g. sign in, go to profile, click upload photo]. When it opens the file picker, choose [photo file name or location] and upload it. Stop when the photo appears on the page and tell me what you saw, and pause for my OK before submitting anything final or changing account settings.
