“Replacing Themselves With AI” - Claude UNLEASHES Game-Changing Automation Tech
26 Mar 2026
Chapter 1: What is the main topic discussed in this episode?
So, Anthropic Cloud can now use a person's computer to complete tasks as the company looks to create an AI agent that can rival the viral open cloud. Users can now message Cloud a task from a phone, and AI GM will then complete that task. Anthropic announced on Monday, after being prompted, Cloud can now open apps on your computer, navigate a web browser. Fill in spreadsheets, Anthropic said.
One prompt Anthropic demonstrated in a video post Monday is a user running late for a meeting. The user asked Claude to export a pitch deck as a PDF file in the chat to a meeting invite. The video shows Claude carrying out. Is this the video, Rob?
Chapter 2: How can AI agents like Claude automate tasks for users?
Yes. We're going to show that video here in a minute. The cloud carried out the task. Latest update from Anthropic underscores a push from AI firms to create so-called agents that can autonomously carry out tasks on behalf of users at any time. Rob, do you want to show this from the beginning? So, Tom, maybe why don't you narrate over what this is doing right now to explain what's going on.
Yeah, what AI is doing is AI is increasing its ability to do tasks. AI is not sitting there impersonating you, sending an email. Maybe someday it will.
So what is this doing in the clip? Is it just kind of doing?
What it's doing is it's doing what you would do. It opened up your calendar.
Chapter 3: What specific tasks can Claude perform on a computer?
Or an assistant. It's basically doing what an assistant in the Philippines would do over COVID. No, seriously, over COVID, you could basically give assistance proxy to go do things.
Start a code task? Did it really say start it? Go back a little bit, Rob. Go back 10 seconds. Look at this here. So start the dev server screenshot, the library page, and send it to me before the demo at 3 p.m. Please. On it, starting a code task to run the dev server and grab the screenshot. Press play? Yes.
Yeah, so it's saying take a screenshot of something on my desk and then send that in the meeting invitation so people could look at that and we can get on a Zoom together and talk. And so it goes and does the task for you. It'll also open a spreadsheet and put the following numbers into the last column for today's sales and then send me the chart that's on the second tab of the spreadsheet.
boom, that's a task. That's not like managing the Salesforce for you. So what these tasks are doing and what Claude and what AI agents that you could create with OpenClaw are doing, and that's what Courtney is. Courtney is an AI agent or a replicant that I created with OpenClaw.
on a Amazon EC2 server that I put Ubuntu Linux on, put OpenCloud on it, and then taught her certain skills so that she can do things so that I can get to the brain work and making the decisions. But the gathering of data, assembling it, I get it.

Chapter 4: How does Claude enhance productivity for users?
Now, I still check it. I still check it very, very carefully. And now what they're saying with Claude is, hey, if you want Claude to do some advanced tasks like open Excel, drop some things in, open my email, attach this, and send it. Courtney does that to Rob. Courtney does a news sweep in the morning that I have –
right here it's like what are americans reading most based on 30 news outlets in the united states and the number one story of everything was 15 point plan from iran that gives all the places that are covering it and how so that was helpful to us when we think hey these are the highest that's a task That's a task.
So think of the AI agents as doing chores for you so that you can faster get to the work of managing humans around you and making decisions.
How much are you using Courtney right now?
Courtney does about probably 15 tasks a day.
15 tasks a day? Yep. Are you comfortable sharing some of them with the public?
Sure. I do an email scan in the morning.
What's the prompt? What do you tell the prompt?
Well, I've created it as what's called a cron job, a chronological job. So once I got it right, I say run that job every morning at 7.45 a.m., She goes through all the emails. She looks for anything that's at VT.com and gives me your prioritize, a few other people prioritize. Tell me what those are. And she'll give it to me in a recording so I can listen to it in the car.

Chapter 5: What are the benefits of using AI agents for daily tasks?
I'm a fellow baby boomer as well. That's why we were so defensive.
You look good.
The two of us were like, you know, wait a second. We're not pillaging anything.
We didn't rip you off.
So we use AI a lot in our company. In Highway, we use AI a lot. I use AI all the time. Obviously, Pat, you know I've had a... A medical challenge that I'm still dealing with, but thank God we're in a better place now.

Chapter 6: How does Courtney, the AI agent, assist in managing tasks?
But as I went through it, literally, I would talk with AI hours a day to try and learn. And what winds up happening for health. Yeah, for health. So what wound up happening is that I'd speak with physicians. They'd all ask me if I were a physician. But you also have to be very careful because I like what Tom said with these agents. And when you use them, they don't always get it right.
You have to constantly fine-tune, and you have to know which questions to ask. You can't accept the response as, okay, blindly. That's why I love what he said. I check everything, and that's a big, big part of it. You have to check everything. That's the key.
Brandon, are you currently yourself? You're 30. Did you turn 31 or you're 30? I turned 31. Okay. How are you using your language learning models right now while you're building your consulting business?
Yeah, oh, no, a ton. Like, it's helping with everything. Like, you can plug into money.com. You can plug into Excel sheets. You can, like, all types of admin tasks. How many hours a week do you use language learning models? Hours a week. I'd say it's part of my every day. So probably, like, cumulatively, like, maybe three hours a day I'm interacting with it. So 21 hours a week, give or take.
Mm-hmm. Every day, including Saturdays and Sundays. Yeah, I work every day. Got it. But, yeah, no, definitely it expands the amount of things I'm able to do so much. Like I'm able to probably do like a whole day's worth of work within one hour or two hours because of it.
Yeah, and by the way, if you're watching this right now, and I'm just being straight up with you, I'm going to give you a challenge, okay? Here's a challenge. If you're watching and saying, holy shit, what did just Tom say? Manect him. Go ahead and manect him. Tom will share that knowledge with you. And by the way, you can cold email people nowadays or DM them, and they got thousands of messages.
People can't get back to you. But if you pay for it, they'll get back to you. That's the whole purpose of Manect. Manect Tom and say, Tom, what are you doing with Claude and how can I use it for myself? Maybe schedule a call with Tom on Manect. And if you have questions for Brandon or Barry, everybody here is on Manect as well.
We'll be announcing something a little bit crazy in a couple weeks about Manect that has to do with...
uh has to do with going to the world cup finals which are like 30 40 000 tickets but anyways please don't repeat that to anybody else i'm just sharing it with you i don't want anybody know except the five of us that are here together uh watching this and the couple of you that are watching this right now out there in the youtube world and spotify world 51 of you consume the content
