Use cases
Real accounts of agents doing this kind of job, each linked to its source.
- Leave an agent overnight to bring up an e-ink screen it watches by webcam
Stuck writing Rust firmware for a mislabeled e-ink panel, a user pointed a webcam at it and had Claude (Fable) write a script to read the screen back. Left overnight with the goal of full control confirmed by camera, it was mostly done by morning.
- Get a phone-only USB microscope working on your desktop
A user handed Claude Code the vendor's Android app for a no-name USB microscope, had it audit the app, probe the device and work out why it was not a normal webcam, then write a desktop app to use it.
