Practitioner: one week behind on AI assistants feels like falling behind
The author contrasts experimenting with OpenClaw six months ago with relying on Claude now, tries Claude's video recording feature, and notes Claude Duet's proactive-agent preview landing that morning.
It’s crazy how fast the economics of AI and personal assistants are changing. Just six months ago, many of us were experimenting with @OpenClaw. Now, I feel like I need to step away from @Claude just to get through my task list. A few colleagues and I, along with friends, constantly exchange AI use cases — what we’re building, how we’re using agents, and which workflows are actually working. Just yesterday, we were setting up new scenarios together in a coworking space. And I’ve realized something: falling just one week behind in AI adoption can make you feel like a grandma. 😅 Claude’s video recording feature has been out for a couple of weeks, and I’m only getting around to trying it now. Meanwhile, my team has already produced thousands of videos and is only starting to explore it today. That’s the fascinating — and slightly overwhelming — part of this moment. To stay productive, you can’t just keep up with the news. You need to live in this environment, experiment daily, share what you learn, and continuously rethink how you work. And then, this morning, Claude announces Claude Duet — a research preview of a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent: bringing your attention to what matters, completing tasks, continuing to work while you step away, and checking with you before acting on your behalf. And just like that, there’s something new to explore. The real AI advantage might not be knowing which tools exist. It’s building the habit of turning new capabilities into better ways of working — faster than your environment changes. Now, excuse me while I go try another thing. 🚀 #claudeduet #aiagents
