Ahead on: - Transparency & trust, 72 against 65 Watch for: No API, MCP server, A2A endpoint or connector lets an outside agent send Duet a task or read its results ### Grok Bot (F) Good for: People already paying for Cursor or SuperGrok who want agents working across web apps, files and email from a cloud computer. Ahead on: - Reliability, 30 against 15 - Payments & pricing, 30 against 10 - Maintenance & community, 56 against 37 Watch for: No API, MCP server or A2A endpoint lets an outside agent send a Bot a task. ## Score by category | Category | Weight | Claude Duet | Grok Bot | Edge | | --- | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Reliability | 16% (20 this run) | 15 | 30 | Grok Bot +15 | | Performance | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Schema & documentation | 13% (16.2 this run) | 10 | 10 | even | | Agent ergonomics | 13% (16.2 this run) | 0 | 0 | even | | Security & auth | 14% (17.5 this run) | 14 | 14 | even | | Payments & pricing | 10% (12.5 this run) | 10 | 30 | Grok Bot +20 | | Task success | 10%, pending | pending | pending | not scored in this run | | Maintenance & community | 7% (8.8 this run) | 37 | 56 | Grok Bot +19 | | Transparency & trust | 7% (8.8 this run) | 72 | 65 | Claude Duet +7 | | Negative events | ≤15 | 0 | 0 | | | **Total** | | **17.9 · F** | **24.4 · F** | | ## Facts side by side | Fact | Claude Duet | Grok Bot | | --- | --- | --- | | Kind | Platform | Platform | | Vendor | Anthropic, PBC | Anysphere, Inc.

No Claude Duet terms were found.

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. **Grok Bot.** Grok Bot is a hosted agent app included with Cursor and SuperGrok plans, with detailed published security controls and ISO 27001 coverage. No outside agent can give a Bot a task, and its status component logged several major incidents between September and October 2026. ## Before you call either ### Claude Duet 1. 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 2. 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 3. 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 4. 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 5. Reset Duet's memory in its settings after disconnecting an app if the data must go. Disconnecting stops new access only ### Grok Bot 1. Don't plan to call Grok Bot from another agent. Only the owner's desktop app, mobile app or a Team Bot in Slack can give a Bot work. 2. Treat mail from a mail.grokbot.com address as sent by an agent. Sending needs its owner's request or approval. 3. Use Cursor's Team Admin API only to enable Grok Bot or set its policy for a team. It can't send tasks. 4. Check status.cursor.com's Grok Bot component before relying on a running routine. ## Questions ### Which is better for AI agents, Claude Duet or Grok Bot?

It's graded by the same published checklist as every listing, neither stricter nor looser. Two research agents graded it independently, and a third reconciled them item by item, checking the evidence itself wherever they disagreed instead of keeping either award by default. All three run on Claude, and every review of it carries a conflict label. - Grok Bot competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds.
