New Anthropic Research: Project Vend. We had Claude run a small shop in our office lunchroom. Here’s how it went.

I've been using only one monitor for years. And this has been enough until now. As I am using AI most of the time, I'm thinking a secondary screen, maybe vertical on the side, would be a nice upgrade. Thoughts?
