Claude Automator Tutorial

Version Note

This tutorial demonstrates the latest Brobot patterns and features for version 1.1.0. It uses modern ActionConfig classes, fluent API, and enhanced developer experience improvements.

Overview​

This tutorial walks through creating a complete Brobot automation that monitors and interacts with Claude AI. It demonstrates:

  • Modern state creation patterns with direct component access
  • JavaStateTransition for code-based transitions
  • Fluent API with action chaining
  • Spring Boot dependency injection
  • Continuous monitoring automation
  • Enhanced developer experience features

What You'll Build​

The Claude Automator application:

  1. Monitors Claude AI Interface: Watches for Claude's response icon to appear/disappear
  2. Manages Conversation Flow: Automatically reopens the Working state when Claude finishes responding
  3. Handles Prompt Interaction: Clicks on prompts and types "continue" to maintain conversation flow

Key Concepts Demonstrated​

  • State-based Architecture: Two states representing different UI screens
  • Modern Transitions: Using JavaStateTransition for flexible state navigation
  • Action Chaining: Combining find, click, and type actions in a single fluent call
  • Active State Management: Using StateMemory to track and manage active states
  • Convenience Methods: Leveraging new API improvements for cleaner code

Prerequisites​

  • Java 21 or higher
  • Gradle
  • Basic understanding of Brobot concepts (States, Transitions, Actions)
  • Claude AI interface for testing

Tutorial Structure​

  1. Project Setup: Configure Gradle with local Brobot library
  2. State Implementation: Create Working and Prompt states with modern patterns
  3. Transitions: Implement state transitions using JavaStateTransition
  4. Automation Logic: Build continuous monitoring system
  5. Configuration: Wire everything together with Spring Boot
  6. Running the Application: Test the complete automation
