DeepSeek Harness Launches Creator Mode: Describe a Plugin in Chat and the Agent Builds It, With 7 Official Demo Prompts

DeepSeek Harness, DeepSeek's open-source, MIT-licensed agent app, announced Creator Mode on its official X account on November 2: users describe the plugin they want in plain language, and the agent turns it into a plugin they can use. Demos include a 3D landmark gallery, a 3D Transformer visualizer, a video editing workbench and a paper reader. DeepSeek also published seven bilingual demo prompts on cdn.deepseek.com, cautioning that some plugins took several rounds of conversation, so a single prompt may not reproduce the video exactly. The post drew about 20,000 likes and 1.69 million views. No benchmarks were published.

On Oct 21, Anthropic opened a research preview of Claude Duet, a standalone app (iOS, Android and claude.ai) built around Claude Opus 5.5 that proactively surfaces what needs your attention, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before acting on your behalf. It starts with a waitlist for US Pro and Max subscribers and shares the same usage limits as the rest of Claude.

Anthropic opens Claude Duet research preview: a proactive personal agent app built on Opus 5.5, waitlist for US Pro and Max

Key Takeaways

  • Positioning: a proactive agent that sends a morning brief and then messages you only when something needs you; it checks connected accounts every few hours
  • Model: designed around Claude Opus 5.5; carries over memory, skills and connected apps from your Claude account, with 6,000+ connectors and plugins per the product page
  • Execution: runs in its own virtual machine with a browser, so tasks continue with your laptop or phone off
  • Safety: credential handling follows the Managed Agents design so it never sees passwords; a new classifier blocks sharing card numbers and government IDs
  • Access: waitlist, US Pro and Max first, counted against existing plan limits
