How the engineer behind Claude Cowork actually uses Claude | Felix Rieseberg (Anthropic)

AI is used poorly if it just needs to move the mouse cursor for you. I want AI to do a bunch of annoying things in the background to free you up for your creative energy. The biggest gap that I see, it's not the capabilities of the tools. It is literally people being able to understand that almost any problem can go into these tools. I have built this little thing, which is just like a teeny tiny claw on a little stick, and this stick has Wi Fi, it has Bluetooth. I want my little Claude to live on this thing, and I want it to cheer me on every single time I do a good job. And, also, every single time I need to approve something that Claude is doing, I want it to be on this big button that is out here. Claude has built all of that in one shot. I needed to correct absolutely nothing. My nine year old is a daily active Claude user, but he's decided he's really into cybersecurity. We're, like, very hacker adjacent here. And so he is truly Claude on one thing, the terminal other. He's like, mom, do you know that your device ID is this? A truly magical thing is happening with kids because they've never learned what not to ask for. And I think our generation, we're very used to things just not working. So we've been living in this mind prison for the past. Welcome back to How IAI. I'm Claire Vaux, product leader and AI obsessive, here on a mission to help you build better with these new tools. Today, we have Felix Reesberg, who leads some of our favorite Claude products over at Anthropic. He's gonna walk us through how you can solve almost any problem with Claude and show us how for just $20, you can build your own hardware Claude buddy that you can smash a button when you need to approve things. Let's get to it. This episode is brought to you by Magic Patterns. Today's engineers use cursor and clawed code to shift features in hours that used to take weeks. If you're a designer or PM, you've probably felt a shift too. The pressure to move faster, validate sooner, and keep up with the team that's operating at a completely different speed. You've already tried AI prototyping tools to close that gap. But if your prototypes don't look like your actual product, it doesn't matter how fast you can build. You still end up redrawing it by hand. Magic patterns takes your product team from idea to production and works from your real design system. When you build a prototype, what you get back actually looks like your product. You'll validate faster, get alignment sooner, and when it's time to build, engineers can connect your prototype to cursor or cloud code with the Magic Patterns MCP to pick up where you left off. Your eng team has their …
