By simply recording and showing repetitive work processes, Claude can autonomously access websites, collect, and analyze data.

Claude's new feature works by allowing the AI to directly access websites and collect necessary information. The video demonstrated Claude accessing a specific website and retrieving data in the same way the user had previously done. This showcases its ability to not just search for information but also to mimic and perform the user's workflow.
The core of this automation is Claude's 'skill recording feature'. If a user records a repetitive but difficult-to-explain or complex task process directly on screen and shows it to Claude, Claude learns that process and turns it into a skill. Now, users can teach the AI tasks by simply recording the actual work screen instead of giving complex instructions.
Claude's screen recording feature records the user's screen, clicks, typing, and even voice, transmitting all of it to Claude. Therefore, users must be careful not to expose passwords or sensitive personal information on the screen during recording. While this feature helps the AI accurately understand the workflow by recording all user actions, it also necessitates vigilance regarding information security.
Before proceeding with skill recording, it is crucial to clearly define what task will be recorded. There are three criteria. First, confirm if the task is performed repetitively. Second, it is effective if the task is done on a website or application that Claude is not directly connected to. Third, consider if the task is difficult to explain in writing and requires intuitive demonstration. These three criteria help select the optimal target for automation.
As an example, a demonstration was conducted by assuming a scenario of operating a scented candle brand and recording the task of reading competitor product reviews to summarize their pros and cons. This demonstration captured the entire process of the user searching for scented candles on the 'O-Neul-Ui-Jip' website, selecting a product with many reviews, collecting pros and cons from the reviews, and recording them in a Google Sheet. The goal is to record this process to create a skill that Claude can perform autonomously.
Upon completing the recording process, Claude immediately generated the skill and accurately summarized the core content of the user's task in a single line. Claude explained that it created a skill to find competitor products on 'O-Neul-Ui-Jip' using specific keywords, select top products with many reviews, analyze their pros and cons, extract strategic summaries, and record them in a Google Sheet. This demonstrates Claude's complete understanding of the recorded process.
For Claude to perform these browser-based tasks autonomously, an execution tool called 'ClaudeinChrome Connector' is required. This connector plays a crucial role in enabling Claude to access websites, collect data, and perform specific tasks through the Chrome browser. Users must support Claude in navigating the web environment freely through this connector.
To activate the ClaudeinChrome Connector, you must first install the Claude extension in the Chrome browser. After installation, you need to click on the options and go through the activation process. This process allows Claude to control the Chrome browser, preparing it to directly execute browser-based tasks learned through skill recording.
A demonstration was conducted where Claude autonomously accessed websites and collected information. On the screen, a mouse cursor controlled by Claude appeared, autonomously searching for 'scented candles' and visiting the first product page sorted by the number of reviews. This proves that Claude actively performs tasks in a real web environment based on recorded skills.
Going a step further, generated skills can be set to run automatically through a scheduling function. For example, you can create a schedule and set up automation to request 'scented candle analysis' using the 'O-Neul-Ui-Jip' skill at 9 AM on the 1st of every month. This feature can fully automate repetitive market research or data collection tasks, maximizing work efficiency.
While Claude's skill recording feature may still have several shortcomings, it is emphasized that it is improving at a very rapid pace. It is stressed that there will be an even greater disparity in work capabilities between those who understand what can be done with this feature in advance, even if not used immediately, and those who do not.
