Anthropic launched Claude Duet, a research-preview app where Claude works as a proactive agent: surfacing what needs your attention, completing tasks, and checking with you before acting on your behalf.
Developer Anil Matcha shipped Open-Duet, a free, self-hosted, Apache-2.0 open-source alternative that already has 5.9k stars and 723 forks. It features named AI coworkers with instructions, memory, and routines, each on an isolated computer, requiring user approval before acting, with connectors for personal apps. It positions itself against Claude Duet, OpenAI Dots, Meta Muse, Grok Bot, Manus Cue, and ChatGPT agent.
