I gave the AI arms and legs then it rejected me


How I helped Claude AI extend its capabilities only for the same AI to reject my job application.

I am very proud that enigo matured enough for a company with a seemingly infinite development budget to choose it for their commercial project. Input simulation is surprisingly difficult due to little documentation and a lot of OS-specific quirks and warrants its own blog post. Working full-time on enigo for a few months could lift the project to a whole different level of polish and professionalism and would have helped Anthropic to be able to focus on their AI models and not input quirks.
