What they did
How does Claude Duet compare with Grok Bot and Muse? An engineering manager with early access says Duet works more like a chief of staff. It remembers his team, projects and how he works, reads his Notion and Gmail to find what actually needs to move, sends a morning brief and only pings him when something needs his decision. Longer work, including code, runs in the background and comes back finished. Anything like sending an email or paying waits for his yes. His summary: Grok Bot suits repeating routines on its own computer, Muse leans toward everyday errands, and Duet toward helping you run things.
How it went
A manager's morning brief and only the pings that need you.
Worth knowing
- One early-access user's X post, and partly the agent's own description of itself. There are no results yet, so treat it as a first impression.
Prompt
Cleaned version rewritten from the source — not a direct quote.
You know my team: [names and roles] and my projects: [list]. Each morning, read [Notion workspace] and my Gmail and tell me what needs to move today, who's waiting on me, and anything at risk. Only ping me during the day when a decision is mine. Draft any emails for my approval.
