Claude Duet joins Muse and Dots in the proactive assistant race
A commentary notes Anthropic, Meta and OpenAI all ship assistants that watch email and calendar, work on a cloud computer, and check in before acting; the author bets digital tasks come first and context is the key.
Claude Duet joins Meta's Muse and OpenAI's Dots. Three labs now ship the same idea: an assistant that watches your email and calendar, works on its own cloud computer while you're away, and checks with you before it acts. It's a research preview, US waitlist only, and Anthropic admits it can misjudge urgency. But the direction is clear. Low-cost assistants that run around the clock and know your context will change personal and professional productivity. My bet is digital tasks first, then the physical world through proxies. The key is context: an agent is only as useful as what it knows about your work. Exciting times.
