## Summary

Atai Barkai announces OpenDuet, a self-hostable proactive AI agent that works with any agent harness and can be cloned as a template. The post lists live asset generation, human-in-the-loop approvals, computer use, and mobile, web, and channel support. It links to the GitHub repo and is built on CopilotKit and AG-UI. The quoted post from @claudeai separately describes Claude Duet, a research preview of a proactive agent app.

## Why it matters

The post frames OpenDuet as a self-hostable agent template and links the repo, but it is largely a product pitch, and the quoted Claude Duet description is not the author's own work.

> It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf.
