A treadmill linked to World of Warcraft
The maker connected a Xiaomi treadmill to WoW so the character can set the belt speed, or the other way round. Claude got round the addon sandbox by having the addon draw three coloured squares that a Windows app reads from the screen.

The full story
A software engineer connected their Xiaomi treadmill to World of Warcraft, so their character can set the belt speed, or the belt can set the character's pace. They used Claude for most of the work.
The hard part was that WoW addons can't talk to outside programs. Claude's answer was to have the addon draw three tiny coloured squares in a corner of the screen, which a Windows app reads to tell whether the character is walking, running or mounted. The maker calls it ridiculous, but it works, and there's a video of it running.
