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**Instinct.** Instinct is a hosted assistant reached by text or call that acts in the owner's Google Workspace and WhatsApp and can make purchases. No outside agent can call it, no price is published, new sign-ups may meet a capacity waitlist, and materials train models unless the owner opts out.\n\n## Before you call either\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### Instinct\n\n1. Don't look for an endpoint. app.instinct.com/mcp serves the web app shell and refuses POST with 405.\n2. Confirm any purchase with the owner. The terms say Actions may not be reversible.\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Claude Duet or Instinct?\n\nClaude Duet scores 17.9 (F) on agent readiness against Instinct's 7.3 (F), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/claude-duet-vs-instinct.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/claude-duet-vs-instinct.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"claude-duet\", \"b\": \"instinct\"}`.

competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds, and Anthropic makes the models this research run and the review panel run on. 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.\n- Instinct competes with LocalGhost, which Anchor Terminal's founder builds.
