Claude’s Duet agent is a little neurotic and surprisingly helpful
TL;DR
Normally, the products I test don't offer to help me write up my experience with them. Duet is different. Claude Duet is Anthropic's AI agent for consumers, the latest attempt by an AI company to try to convince us that agents can be useful for people who don't write code. It's been an interesting couple of months: Instinct gave us an impressive text-based assistant, Meta offered us its cute little guy, Muse, to help us buy things, and OpenAI gave us the more work-oriented Dots.
Nauti's Take
Small teams should start with a tightly bounded workflow, such as research, drafting, or documentation, and measure how much supervision it requires. The key checks are permissions, access to company data, auditability, and pricing, because a consumer-friendly agent only becomes useful in production when its actions remain visible and controllable.
