Have Claude test a browser flow and upload a photo

A user had Claude in Chrome click through a live app, open the picker, and upload a photo as part of smoke testing.

Done with Claude in Chromeยท Intermediateยท Jul 2026

What they did
They pointed Claude in Chrome at a real product and asked it to follow the same route a user would take. The agent clicked around in the browser, opened the file chooser, and sent a photo through the upload flow. Another user said they used the same approach for a regression suite against live dev or production servers, and one person used it once to move through online course tutorials.
How it went
The main value was checking how the app behaved in the current browser session, including pages that changed while it was running, instead of only reading content. People still reviewed the result by hand afterward, such as confirming the upload in the database and storage.
Tips
Use it for browser steps that need a real session, but plan to verify the backend yourself afterward. Tell it to pause before any final submit, payment, deletion, or account change.

Try it yourself with Claude in Chrome

In Claude in Chrome, open [app or website URL] and act like a user following this path: [step 1], [step 2], [step 3]. If a file upload is needed, open the file picker and choose [photo file or location], then continue until the upload is complete. Before you click any final submit button, make a short note of what you found and wait for my approval before taking any irreversible action, including sending, deleting, paying, or changing account settings.

Fill in the [brackets]. Agents can make mistakes, so review anything before it is sent, paid or deleted.
