How is Claude Duet different from ChatGPT dots, Meta Muse and Grok Bot?

All four are always-on agents with their own cloud computer.

Our take

Score 3.5 out of 5How we score

Claude Duet is Anthropic's proactive agent app: it sends a morning brief, watches your connected apps every few hours and does the work on its own cloud computer, but it asks before it sends a message, pays, signs or deletes anything. It is the most approval-first of the new always-on agents and connects to business tools such as Gmail, QuickBooks, Gusto, HubSpot and Shopify. It is a research preview, by waitlist, for US Claude Pro and Max subscribers only.
