Claude Duet first impressions: Opus 5.5, 15GB RAM, faster than Cowork
A user's three-hour Claude Duet review praises its ease of use, Opus 5.5 power, speed over the old Cowork, and a 15GB-RAM computer, while noting it offers little beyond Grok Bot besides the model.
Claude Duet first impressions after 3 hours: it's genuinely one of favorite agent apps already. it's super easy to pick up, and just having Opus 5.5 makes it insanely powerful. it's fast too. tasks get done way quicker than they did in the old Cowork. usage has been great so far. it feels about the same as using Opus 5.5 on medium effort. the customization options are really nice, and its own computer comes with 15GB of RAM which is a lot more than I expected. that being said, I still want to be honest: there isn't much here that Grok Bot doesn't already offer, besides having Opus 5.5 of course. still, if you already pay for Claude, it's a no-brainer to try. and having the best model running your agent is a pretty big win on its own. make sure you check your email, you may have gotten access as well.
