Lost my phone at the office. Claude suggested tracking Bluetooth signal strength

A user who lost their phone at the office used Claude, an AI assistant from Anthropic, to create a Bluetooth signal strength meter in about a minute, which helped them locate the device after Find My was disabled by MDM. The user walked around watching the signal strength number climb and found the phone, illustrating the potential for bespoke personal software creation.

Lost my phone at the office and spent 30 minutes turning the place over. Find My was disabled by MDM. Out of ideas, I asked Claude how I could find it. It suggested tracking the Bluetooth signal strength, then wrote me a meter in about a minute. I walked around watching the number climb. Found it. Apparently you can just make the tool you need now. Code:

  • We're at the beginning of bespoke personal software for all.
  • Dumb mdm config imo.
