Anthropic's new AI agent takes aim at Meta and OpenAI with one key advantage

00:00 Speaker A

So, Claude duet as I mentioned, is Anthropic's personal AI agent that they're giving towards you. Now the difference between this and let's say regular Claude that you end up using every single day is that it's personally tailored for you and it's meant to be proactive. So let me explain what that means.

It's meant to effectively kind of read your mind or understand what you might need to get resolved or solved the next day. So, it works similarly to some of the other AI agents that we've reviewed on this show before.

It is an instance of Claude, the model, Claude AI, that has access to its own personal computer. Now, this personal computer looks like your laptop, but it lives in the cloud. And what it can do with that laptop is pretty much anything and everything that you can do.

It can download apps, it can scroll through websites, it can see and watch videos, it can do pretty much anything you can do. And that's powerful because it could end up being a really helpful assistant that can take a load of work off of you both on your personal and professional life.

But also it could work 247, which means when you go to bed, this thing keeps going. It kind of reviews all the context learnings that it's had about you and it improves, it self-improves over time.
