COMMENT "DOTS"
Claude Duet instead of ChatGPT Dots (save $1,200/yr)
Claude Duet is the always-on agent on Opus 5.5, included in Claude Pro at $20/mo, doing what ChatGPT's Dots does behind the $100/mo Pro plan. Switching is about $1,200 a year back, and it connects 6,000+ apps vs about 4,000.

03Full tutorial
Make sure you are on Claude Pro ($20/mo) or Max, since Duet, the always-on agent on Opus 5.5, is included there.
Install the Claude app on iOS or Android and sign in with that account.
Join the Duet preview inside the app.
Email, calendar, and Slack. That covers most of what an always-on agent needs to be useful on day one (Duet reaches 6,000+ apps versus about 4,000 on Dots).
Tell it exactly what to monitor and what counts as urgent, so the morning brief is signal, not noise. Vague instructions make a noisy agent.
Keep confirmations ON for anything that sends money, sends a message, or signs something, so it always checks with you first.
Let it run on its own for a few days and read the morning brief it produces.
Once Duet is pulling its weight, cancel the $100/mo ChatGPT Pro plan you were paying for Dots. That is about $1,200 a year back.
Prices and preview availability change, so confirm your current plan before you cancel anything.
