My system is AI agnostic, so I'll definitely be testing Claude Duet when I get off the waitlist. But from what I understand, it's designed as a single agent, it's still in early preview, and early reviews say it's not at Grok Bot's level yet.
quotingFor my use case, absolutely.

Grok Bot gives me persistent, specialized agents that communicate, delegate, and work in parallel on a shared cloud computer, with memory, browser access, app integrations, and scheduled automation. It all keeps running when my computer is closed or off, no workarounds needed.
Hermes is powerful if you want open-source control and self-hosting. But I've already done the DIY orchestration thing with Claude Code.
The problem is coordination overhead. Like a corporate meeting, the agents overthink, everybody has to sign off, the rules start contradicting each other, and nothing moves while the tokens burn.
A plain session in an empty folder can often do the job faster and better.
You end up enforcing rules with code just to keep agents on task, and as the system grows, it gets cumbersome.
Grok Bot isn't just the same thing hosted. Each bot keeps its own job and rules across every chat. Risky actions get checked before they run. Bots message each other directly. And the work is still files I can open, download, and take with me.
If you want more control over your data and setup, you can still build your own harness on Claude Code. You just maintain the machinery yourself.
Grok Bot gives me the integrated infrastructure without building and maintaining it myself. And that lets me spend less time handling the bureaucracy of my team and more time being productive.
