Anthropic Just Dropped the Grok Bot Killer? (Claude Duet)

0:00 Anthropic just dropped their own personal AI agent and it's going up against Grockbot, Chachty Dots, and Metam Muse. It's called Claw Duet and it's a more intuitive way for you to use

0:10 AI where it can work for you and communicate like a real teammate would. In this quick video, I'm going to break down exactly what it does, who can use it, and the one catch you should know

0:19 about. We're also going to look at one big difference between Enthropic and Grockbot that I think is going to matter a lot. So, without further ado, let's dive right in. All right, so let's go

0:28 through the actual article that Enthropic put out. Starting at the very top, Anthropic says they built Claude Duet for professionals and small business owners who have more on their

0:37 plates than they can track. So this is really aimed at people running a business, not just developers like Claude Code. It's a standalone app on iPhone and Android, and you could also

0:46 use it on claw.ai. Now, for this research preview, it's included in the Pro and Max plans, so you will need to be on a paid plan to access this. So, if you're already paying for Claude, you're

0:57 not going to have to pay anything extra. But right now, it is only a wait list and it's only in the United States. Next up is a part that I think probably matters the most, which Enthropic calls

1:07 putting your attention where it matters most. Each morning, Duet sends you a short brief on the most important tasks across the apps that you've connected. Then, throughout the day, it keeps tabs

1:17 on those apps and only messages you when something actually needs your attention. So instead of us going to Claude and giving it a question or a task, it's going to be more proactive. Enthropic

1:27 also said that it's built on Claude Opus 5.5 and that's a model that's going to decide what needs you, what can wait, and when to check with you first before going and doing something. Now, let's

1:37 talk about some examples that Anthropic showed in their launch video. First, they showed a coffee shop owner getting told that their new location opens in 26 days and she still hasn't filed her

1:46 health permit. Duet drafts it for her and also tells her that a client renewal can wait until Monday. You can also hand it a bigger task like building dashboards, sales forecasts, or even web

1:57 apps. Now, I do want to be transparent here because this part isn't brand new. Chat Dots and Grobba and Metamuse already can do things like this. But the thing that's different about this is

2:08 this is now directly inside of the Anthropic and Claude ecosystem. So if you are a avid claude user, you're using claude code or these different cloud products, then this is for you. Next up,

2:19 I want to talk about safety, which is a really big deal for something that's going to be reading your emails and all the different applications that you use. Enthropic says that Claude Duet never

2:27 directly sees your passwords or any of your sign-in tokens. And they added a new safety check that refuses to share anything like credit card numbers or government IDs. Other sensitive

2:37 information like your health and personal finances only get sent when you've specifically told Duet to send it. They also had red teams in an outside firm try to break into it, which

2:47 I think is pretty reassuring if you're going to hand it your inbox. Now, my favorite part of these release articles is actually seeing how people are using this product. So, the guy who created

2:56 Claude Code called Boris talks through his to-do list with Duet while he's out on walks instead of saving it all for his desk. A real estate broker said that one morning without her even asking it

3:07 flagged a property showing that was on her calendar for the wrong day and a restaurant owner with 110 employees has been using it for accounting, customer support and marketing. All right, so now

3:17 I want to get into how exactly it works because this is where the enthropic part really matters. Duet carries over your memory, your skills, and the apps you're already connected to from your Claude

3:27 account. So if you're already using Claude, there's pretty much no setup. And I think this is the most important thing about this release because all this now lives directly inside of the

3:36 enthropic ecosystem. And again, if you're already using Claude Code and their other products, this is going to be a great fit for you. Now, one thing I do want to point out is that you talk to

3:44 Duet in one ongoing thread by typing or with your voice. So, a quick question in a week-long project, both start in the same place. So, it's going to be really interesting to see if Enthropic lets you

3:55 have multiple agents like you can inside of Grockbot. And that's actually one of the reasons why I genuinely love using the Grock Ball platform because I could have specific agents for specific jobs

4:06 that communicate with each other and work together. And this way I can break up the different tasks that I have. So if I want to do anything invoice related, I could go to that specific

4:14 invoice agent. And this way all of my different conversations don't bleed together. On top of all of this, it also has its own computer in the cloud with its own browser. So it doesn't need your

4:24 phone or your laptop to be on in order to keep working. And again, this is something very similar that Grockbot and Metamuse Chatbt dots all have in common. It basically goes and checks your

4:34 connected accounts every few hours instead of non-stop because if it was doing this non-stop, it would burn through your limits a lot faster obviously. And before it sends a

4:42 message, makes a payment, signs a document, or deletes anything, it shows you what exactly it's about to do and waits for your approval. Now, there are a few things that are off limits even if

4:52 you approve them, like trading stocks or moving money between your different accounts. Next up, this works with over 6,000 plus connectors and plugins. And Enthropic gives a bunch of examples for

5:02 running a business. So, it can check QuickBooks or Stripe for unpaid invoices and even draft the reminders. It can prepare your payroll inside of Gusto or even get a contract ready to sign inside

5:13 of Docuign. All right, so this brings us to the catch, which is right at the bottom of the article. Duet shares your usage limits with the rest of Claude and its background check-ins count towards

5:22 those limits. bigger tasks like building a deck or a financial model use even more of your tokens. So, if you're already running into your Clawude limits, this is probably going to eat

5:32 them even quicker. But one thing I do want to point out is since I've been using Claude Opus 5.5, it's really efficient at spending my tokens. So, it's actually not eating through nearly

5:42 as much as it used to when I use Claude inside of Claude Code for even the really complex workflows that I'm running. So, I want to talk about all the other AI agents right now. Grockbot

5:52 came out back in August. Then Meta launched Muse in September and OpenAI announced Chhatche Dots inside of Chhatcht just a couple weeks ago and now we have Claude Duet. I don't think it's

6:03 rocket science to think that this is going to be the future of how we use AI. Basically having an always assistant that lives inside of our pocket on our phone that we can communicate with

6:11 instead of having to be at our computer to get work done for us. So now it really just boils down to which one of these platforms you're actually going to use. Now, personally, I've been using

6:21 Grockbot as my main daily driver over the last 2 months, and it has completely changed how I work from my computer. I've been using it every single day. I have it replying to basically all of my

6:32 emails for me. It has saved me so much time and so much headache. So, for me personally, I don't even know if I'm going to switch from Grockbot to this new Claw Duet because I've just really

6:41 been enjoying the experience with Grockbot. And one of the things that makes Grockbot really interesting is that it doesn't only work with the Grock models because earlier this month Elon

6:50 posted that Grockbot is going to use the best model for any given task and one of the models he named was Claude Opus 5.5. Now to be fair, Elon's post is the only official source on this so far. So we

7:02 don't really know which models are being used inside of Grockbot for these different tasks, but Elon said that they are going to be implementing this. And I think it's going to be really

7:10 interesting to see if Enthropic does the exact same thing inside of Duet, but I doubt they're going to allow you to use any of the other companies models. Anyways, as of right now, this is not

7:20 rolled out to anybody. You do have to join a weight list. So, I went ahead and joined the weight list. As soon as I get access, I'm going to make a video on this, breaking it down, comparing it to

7:28 Grockbot, and giving my honest thoughts on which one I like better. If you enjoyed this video and you want to see the next one, make sure to subscribe to this channel. Thanks for staying the

7:36 end, and I'll see you in the next one. Cheers.
