Ah there it is!
We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent. 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.

One thing about the @RenderATL team is that @ThugDebugger and @emjay_hill are going to make you feel welcome no matter what city you’re in!
Found some more of my crew!

Hey @bot checkout this release and set it up for me.
Grok Bot is now one step closer. Set it as your iPhone's Action Button and press it to talk with Bot.

I think a lot of us developers--especially parent devs may be missing something important with these AI agents. I know I was. But with the help of @bot, @cursor_ai, @phaser_, @vercel and @auth0 I feel like I'm finally seeing the point of all this. Something the normies figured out a while ago.

Hey @bot, look at these 4 images we made. Based on how I engage with people on X, which one would make the best costume at the @auth0 halloween party?

Went from 26 @bot agents, down to 4 today. Also moved from local dev to Cursor Cloud Agents. The bots handle a lot less work. Passwords I need my agents to use are duplicated from my main 1Password vault into a separate vault made for GrokBot. Most of my MCP connections have move from GrokBot to Cursor. Life is good!

Tech acronyms that tripped me up in my early and mid years because I was too afraid to ask what they meant: SQL: I pronounced it "squall" for YEARS and none of you jerks corrected me 😩 RBAC: 7 years thinking the R stood for "row" and not "role" because the person who taught me had a speech impediment. That's why I got it confused with RLS. VPN: I went 5 years (almost half my career) just knowing it was something I had to log into for my internet to work at the office. P99: Honestly, this one still gets me. I know what it means but I have to gather my thoughts to explain it.

Too bad I’m not Ethiopian! I’d love to talk about @auth0 ‘s Token Vault wearing this! “Hey ChatGPT dress me up in the traditional costume of the country I look like I’m from”

This is now my second MCP Summit. I have one more to go. This series of conferences is different. I go to *a lot* of conferences. MCP Summit/MCPCon have the best audience engagement and questions of them all. The questions are super technical. The attendees are builders and practitioners. They know their stuff and they’re looking for guidance on specific issues. @auth0 has seen great ROI in sponsoring these events in particular!
We got @techgirl1908 kicking off @mcpsummit Toronto. Let’s go!

Decision models choose from options instead of generating text. The tradeoff: faster, more capable at a given size, built-in reliability scores. AWS open-sourced Strands Decider 2B. 2B params, runs locally, answers in milliseconds. Training data include 🙂ift.tt/gsmupYO
