Summary
Riley Brown walks through a new update to Claude Duet, Anthropic’s personal agent platform, which can now connect directly to Claude Code sessions running on a user’s own computers.
Duet is a separate app from Claude, powered by Opus 5.5, with a persistent cloud computer that works like a virtual employee. With the update, it can also reach physical machines, such as a MacBook Pro and a Mac Mini, so a phone becomes a remote control for local Claude Code work. A dedicated button lists active sessions and available computers.
The video demonstrates three use cases. First, continuing an existing video-editing session from a phone, including asking for a new cut with a changed opening scene and 1.1x speed. Second, starting a new Claude Code session on a chosen computer and folder. Third, building and pushing app changes to production from a phone, with Claude requesting approval and Face ID confirmation before messaging a session.
Brown also notes limitations, including that talking to Duet won’t create new sessions directly and that the host computer must stay on.
