Shop for Raspberry Pi parts on Amazon with Claude
Claude searched Amazon for a Raspberry Pi, asked about mic and speaker options, and added items to the basket in about 15 minutes, slower than manual.
Done withClaude computer use
- What they did
- The author turned on Computer Use in the Claude desktop app on a Mac and granted accessibility and screen-recording permissions. They asked Claude to find parts for a local Home Assistant voice assistant on Amazon, checking review scores. Claude searched, paused to ask whether they wanted a basic USB mic and speaker or a ReSpeaker HAT, then clicked to add items to the basket. The author stayed signed out of Amazon.
- How it went
- The basket held suitable, well-reviewed parts after about 15 minutes, but the author could have done it faster by hand. Session tool-call limits kept stopping it until they clicked Continue.
- Worth knowing
- Computer Use is a macOS-only research preview for Pro and Max users. Leave Amazon signed out, since the author wouldn't let it near the buy button.
