Built for judgment

Claude Duet briefs you every morning, drafts next steps, then goes quiet until something needs you.

Send a message and it sets up a meeting or builds a dashboard, then shares when it’s done.

Your memory, skills, and apps from the Claude app are there from the first message, all in one thread.

Paid. Inspection is the next gate. I asked the county for Nov 6 or 7.

Data room: 23 of 26 docs are in. Missing the cap table export, the Chicago location lease and Q3 board minutes.

I can pull the first two now. The minutes need your sign-off.

Pull them.

Done. 25 of 26.

Prep: I read the bios of all 6 Harbor partners and their last 3 consumer deals. Expect questions on café payback and subscription churn.

I drafted answers for both from your numbers. It’s a 2-minute read.

Slide 6 is too busy.

Split it in two: revenue per café, then margin per café. Better?

Much. Send the deck to Elena at Harbor.

Drafted with the data room link. Send from you?

Most cancels cite shipping cost. Free shipping over $40 would have kept about 7 in 10. Want a 2-week test?

Claude Duet is a research preview on a waitlist for Claude Pro and Max subscribers in the US. Team and Enterprise plans are not included yet.

During the research preview, Claude Duet shares your plan’s usage limits with the rest of Claude, and uses them differently than a typical conversation. Its background checks count toward those limits. Larger tasks, like building a financial model or a deck, require more model turns and background work.
