Developer shares experience of using Claude Duet to monitor Slack, email, and calendar

Lydia Hallie says Claude Duet makes focused work easier, as she no longer has to be online at all times and context switching is noticeably reduced. Her approach is to have Claude Duet monitor Slack, email, and calendar, alerting her only when something is important, including threads she is not part of, often with relevant documents or designs attached as context. Claude officially announced the opening of the Claude Duet research preview earlier, describing it as a proactive agent app that alerts users when needed, completes tasks they assign, keeps working while they are away, and checks with them before acting on their behalf.
