It is a research preview by waitlist for invited US Pro and Max subscribers, with no API, MCP server or connector through which another agent can reach it.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Boba\n\n1. Don't plan to call Boba from another agent. It answers only text messages in the Messages app.\n2. Tell people in a group chat that messages sent to Boba may be used to train its models.\n\n### Claude Duet\n\n1. Don't plan an integration against Claude Duet. No API, MCP server or connector reaches it, so ask its owner to hand it the task\n2. Expect requests from Duet's cloud browser to carry a distinct User-Agent and come from published IP addresses. The string and the list weren't found on the pages read\n3. Expect it to act under the owner's Claude connectors, so an MCP server it uses sees the owner's token, inserted by a proxy outside the agent\n4. Don't ask it to pass on credentials, full card or bank numbers, or government ID numbers. Its classifier blocks them even when the owner asks\n5. Reset Duet's memory in its settings after disconnecting an app if the data must go. Disconnecting stops new access only\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Boba or Claude Duet?\n\nClaude Duet scores 17.9 (F) on agent readiness against Boba's 10.3 (F), and leads in 4 of 7 scored categories.
