Claude Duet @AlexFinn

Used Claude Duet for a couple of hours: it split requests into task threads, built several PRs and proposed its own tasks.

Several PRs built from one chat. The author reports several PRs built quickly and good proactive suggestions, even in research preview.

Here are the coding tasks for today: [task list]. Make each one its own task, work on them in [repository], and open a pull request for each so I can review it. Tell me if you think something else needs doing, and wait for my OK before starting it.

I've been using Claude Duet the last couple hours and I'll say this: It's EXCELLENT The multi tasking is probably the best in the space You get one simple thread you can talk to, and as you give it commands and prompts, it automatically spins up tasks on a list for you So instead of having to manage a ton of side chats that could get long or confusing, you have 1 chat, but it makes 'task' threads automatically that you can watch and monitor This allows you to just keep brain dumping ideas and tasks into the one thread, and not have to worry about the agent getting confused. The agent just will manage all the tasks for you Very similar to Claude Code's new 'projects' feature which was probably a beta test for this The coding was great. Built me a bunch of PRs quickly I was able to review. Proactivity was fantastic too. Came up with a bunch of tasks on its own and just asked me for the go ahead As expected it's also fantastic to talk to. Claude has long been the best model to converse with (outside Opus 5) and the carries over to Claude Duet Really pleased with the product, even in research preview. Very excited to see where it goes from here Definitely sign up for the wait list
