- What they did
- The author turned on computer use in the Claude desktop app on a Mac and tested six workflows over two days. In the one visible here, she texted Claude through Dispatch from her phone. Claude searched X, Reddit and LinkedIn for posts on her article topic. It put the findings into an Excel file on her Desktop.
- How it went
- Claude returned 44 posts in a two-sheet spreadsheet, with a themes sheet, in about 10 minutes. It captured engagement numbers for LinkedIn but not X or Reddit. The other five workflows are behind a paywall.
- Worth knowing
- The computer must stay on and awake, or Dispatch tasks stop. Computer use needs a Mac and a paid Claude plan.
Try it yourself with Claude computer use
I run [type of content, e.g. a newsletter or YouTube channel]. Research [topic] by reading the top sources, then build a list of 10 possible sponsors in [niche] with a contact page or email for each, saved in a spreadsheet. Draft a short outreach email for each one, but do not send anything; stop and show me the drafts and spreadsheet for approval first.
