MC.59: What do you want your computer to do for you?

In partnership with

Hey everyone,

What would you like your computer to do for you?

A question that takes on a new meaning with Anthropic's announcement of their Computer Use API.

We're entering a new world. 👇

AI controlling your computer to solve tasks for you.

Ever wondered why ChatGPT developed a desktop app? Now you know. This is the natural next step.

AI will be able to control your computer way before a humanoid robot breaks things in your kitchen.

I'm thrilled to be working on this future with Alter. Me and my team are focusing on MacOS because you need more than screenshots to understand and solve real user tasks on a computer.

Anthropic is pushing the industry forward faster, and I’m grateful for that.

Look at what people already built 24 hours after the announcement:

1. Kyle Corbitt built a MacOS agent in 6 hours - you’ll see that the agent gets the date all wrong when booling a travel, we’re not there yet.

2. AI Controlled Phone

3. Another AI controlled phone ordering food on Uber

So, what tasks would you want an AI to handle on your computer?

Proxy, the AI Agent for Everyday Life

Imagine if you had a digital clone to do your tasks for you. Well, meet Proxy…

Last week, Convergence, the London based AI start-up revealed Proxy to the world, the first general AI Agent.

Users are asking things like “Book my trip to Paris and find a restaurant suitable for an interview” or “Order a grocery delivery for me with a custom weekly meal plan”.

You can train it how you choose, so all Proxy’s are different, and personalised to how you teach it. The more you teach it, the more it learns about your personal work flows and begins to automate them.
