What they did
They followed Anthropic’s Docker setup for computer use, created an API key, and launched the web app. With Google already open, they asked Claude to look up five vegetarian-leaning restaurants around Bond Street, then put the information into Notepad while they monitored the remote desktop and image stream.
How it went
The setup succeeded on the first attempt, and Claude did produce the file. However, it clicked ahead before one page had fully loaded and then produced an answer that wasn’t grounded in the page contents, so the result was not yet dependable.
Tips
When using a computer-use agent for research, compare the saved notes with the original pages before relying on them. Add a stop-and-check step before any reservation, purchase, or form submission.

On the remote computer, search for [number] places that fit [dietary preference] near [landmark or area]. For each result, capture the title, address, hours, and a short description, then write them into [filename]. After the file is saved, stop and show me the contents so I can review them before anything else happens. Do not book, buy, or submit anything.

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