“I feel like it's been a really weak chief of staff. It's been great as a researcher, as a preparation before calls. And because I've connected it to the fleet, it supervises the fleet well.”

The hosts had been framing Claude Duet as an always-on chief of staff, similar to other proactive agents. Ahad, who connected it to his own fleet of Claude agents, says it has not met that bar for him, though it is useful in narrower roles.

background. Awesome. Thank you. So, I think, yeah, from here, I think we'll just start the sessions. And Diraj, do you want to take us
…in into my. Business or my whole Gen AI and plug journey. So I'll stop here. Like maybe Ahad, you may have a different perspective. Maybe Windows, you may be using the Grockbots or the dots in a different way. But this is how I Asked as the first usage of Claude Duet Worth getting into what it is.
Oh, absolutely. From my perspective, and I did see Windows' great Grockbot newsletter. He and I were talking about it right before we started. The use cases that he's seeing for Grockbot and the different bots that he's employing, I definitely think that Duet can eventually achieve that level. And I Asked trying to use it in that same way because as I mentioned before, I Asked a fleet of AI agents and I Asked an orchestrator within that fleet that I can speak to sort of as a chief of staff, not quite there yet. Because as you mentioned, you have to basically be the one who is proactive. You have to pass it the tasks and push it to do things. And I did slightly solve that by creating some Launch D basically scheduled jobs on my machine to prompt my Claude sessions because I run my fleet with Tmux and I Asked a bunch of persistent sessions running, right? That's my series of agents. And my initial thought for something like Duet was, hey, this is going to be like MetaMuse or…
Yeah, one quick thing. Yeah, I think I Asked with those points. And so I think the current trend right now is basically how to remove us as the human from the bottleneck in a way that when we use ChatGPT or Claude, we normally just type in the prominently. And then as you have more threads, then…
Okay, that's great insight, I would say, and great vision. But whether we are not there or with Whether we are there or not, let's see because, um, in my experience, it's not there yet, window. Uh, what we have been talking about, but again, you know, let's see what it solved for me at least. You…
