I’m a few hours in with Claude Duet. Unsurprisingly, it has a significantly better UX than ChatGPT Dots, but I find it a bit too… Claude. While very good at what it can do, its scope is more narrow and the lack of solid local machine control makes it less compelling for me personally. I want Dots Duet.
