- What they did
- The Reddit post says the user used Claude Cowork on their laptop for technical tasks and let it inspect and control work directly, describing it as like a competent IT person remote-controlling the computer. For this case, they say it went into the code of their API website and fixed issues manually after Replit’s agent kept breaking simple additions and not understanding the site.
- How it went
- The stated result was that the API website got fixed after repeated problems with the Replit agent. The post gives no metrics, timeline, or step-by-step breakdown for the repair, so the exact changes and limits are unclear.
- Worth knowing
- The most useful catch from the thread is that this account is very thin on implementation details, so you would need the original poster’s broader Cowork setup rather than a reproducible website-fixing workflow.
