Claude Duet vs ChatGPT Dots: side-by-side personal agent comparison
A user running Claude Duet and ChatGPT Dots in parallel finds Dots more consumer-oriented and Duet better for work, citing channels, task lists, desktop access, and follow-through on soft commitments.
I've been running @claudeai Duet and @ChatGPT Dots side-by-side. My impressions: - Overall takeaway: Dots feels more consumer, Duet feels better for business. - Both went all in on an iMessage-style UX, and both like to send you a barrage of short messages. This quickly gets overwhelming if you're using it for a lot of things. - Duet has multiple channels that report into one main channel, like a hybrid of Slack and Grok Bot, which helps me segment work. Dots doesn't have this. - Teaching either one how you like to work takes a lot of time and manual effort, but once it's set up to your preferences it's great. - Neither is good yet at tracking and following through on soft commitments, like "I'll get back to you shortly." - Both underlying models feel great, but it's odd not being able to choose which model I'm using. - Duet's task list is great in theory but lacking in practice. It doesn't clear finished tasks unless I tell it to, and it misses ones I'd add. Still better than Dots, which has nothing. - Using Dots in the desktop app is great. Duet has no equivalent, and it's hard to do serious work from my phone. - Duet's custom instructions carry over into regular Claude, so my personal and work preferences blur together. This is clearly the tip of the iceberg and I genuinely can't wait to see where this all goes.
