A beta user cites speed, per-channel GitHub limits, and short replies, while noting glitches and weak voice mode.

An unaffiliated user reviews Anthropic's beta Claude Duet and says it is more useful than Muse, Dot, and NanoClaw for personal-assistant workflows. The author likes fast replies, automatic channels, per-channel GitHub access, and a refusal to store credentials. Reported glitches include invisible running threads and repo access that fails to attach. The author says Dot remains better for voice and that Duet is replacing most of their AI workflows.

Unconfirmed: The author, who is not affiliated with Anthropic, says Duet is supposedly powered by Opus 5.5.

Key facts
  • GitHub repository access is restricted per channel.
  • Duet stores no credentials and prefers existing Claude connectors.
  • The author says some threads run but stay invisible.
  • Delegated repository access sometimes fails to attach.
