Claude Duet hands-on: proactive, but early
A reviewer finds Claude Duet proactive with Opus 5.5 felt throughout, but notes voice mode forgets past conversations, channels are confusing and some connector permissions live only in the Claude app.
Just filmed a @claudeai Duet: Zero to Hero tutorial! Coming this week. Until then, my thoughts 💭 - Duet is very proactive. It does a great job finding helpful tasks for you to work on. - You can feel opus 5.5 at every step (a huge win) - Voice mode on app is good, except lol... it doesn't remember conversations you've had with it previously. - Channels concept is cool, but also a bit confusing. You can create a channel or group - when do you do each? I still don't know - I love the #everything chat. It's pretty much claude projects with intelligent routing, which is GOATED with 5.5 - I love that you're able to build artifacts in app. I still think that all platforms are missing out out on a huge opportunity here though. There should be 10x more functionality with artifacts for each personal agent platform, Duet included. - Some important functionality like connector tool permissions can only be found in the Claude app, not Duet. - It's very early. Still only available on mobile, and web. Its missing tons of features that most of the others offer, but still capable enough to have it's magical moments. - You can NOW add MULTIPLE accounts (multiple gmail accounts) I'm personally transitioning Duet to be my always on proactive helper for work - helping me the best employee i can be. And this is what I filmed the tutorial on. #Meetings - Manage and keep my to-do list - Help me prep meetings, create to-dos from meetings - Analyze sentiment + coach me week end for all meetings #goals - Help me stay on top of my OKRs - Ensure they're factored into my weekly plan - Help me track my OKRs throughout the Q. #coaching - review my emails / slack / meeting notes - Help me find ways to improve - Help me learn new things when it finds gaps And more!
