I wrote this comment in a thread about Muse 3 h ago, and I think it applies here as well. Paraphrasing:

Muse (and Claude Duet, and Dots) are slippery slopes from which it will be very hard to climb back. Do not subcontract the managing of your life to Facebook, Anthropic or OpenAI (or to anyone else for that matter).

Intelligence has to become a commodity, the infrastructure via which the agents do useful work has to be open source, and the data and learnings and SOPs they produce have to be yours.

This is not the same deal you got when you subcontracted storing your documents and managing your email. This is foundational to who you (or your organization) are.

And I think that's fine because the life management I'm getting out of Claude is great. It's like having a concierge. Back in the day everyone wanted to have Jarvis or Friday

At least for now, everything they produce is yours to do with as you please. Just ask them for it. I’ve asked Claude to teach my Hermes agent one skill after another.

Data portability is essentially infinite with AI.
