/

In this episode I cover Claude in Chrome, a Chrome browser extension that lets Claude see your browser and take actions on your behalf. I walk through what Claude in Chrome is, how it works, how to get it installed, and what it can and can't do, plus the real use case that finally made me understand its utility. Also in this episode: a quick update on Anthropic's new Mythos model and a case of “just because you can doesn’t mean you should.”

Main Topics Covered

  • What Claude in Chrome is and how it works
  • History and availability (who can use it and when it launched)
  • The backstory: how I found out about it via Google Search Console
  • How to install it (two ways)
  • What it can and can't do
  • Safety considerations
  • Anthropic's new model, Mythos
