After Claude Code couldn't find the relevant operation neither in CLI nor the public API, it went through its Chrome integration to open up the app in Chrome.

It grabbed my access tokens from cookies and curl into the app's private API for their UI. What an amazing time to be alive, can't wait for the future!

Security risks aside, that's pretty remarkable problem solving on Claude's part. Rather than hallucinating an answer or just giving up, it found a solution by creatively exercising its tools. This kind of stuff was absolute sci-fi a few years ago.

Or this behavior is just programmed, the old fashioned way.

This is one of the things that’s so frustrating about the AI hype. Yes there are genuinely things these tools can do that couldn’t be done before, mostly around language processing, but so much of the automation work people are putting them up to just isn’t that impressive.

But it’s precisely the automation around LLMs that make the end result itself impressive.
