Looking for a Claude Duet alternative?

Is Claude Duet available in Europe?

No. Anthropic says Duet is a research preview for Claude accounts in the United States, and you need an invitation from the waitlist to get in. That leaves out the EU, the UK and everywhere else, even if Claude itself works in your country.

Anthropic hasn’t published a date for Europe. And where you can get Duet doesn’t tell you where it stores your data. The Duet docs don’t say that either.

Pro and Max

In the preview, for US accounts with a waitlist invitation.

What happens to your data?

Both companies publish their terms. But here’s where they’re different once you use them.

Model training

Mellovy doesn’t train AI models on your conversations or your colleagues’ work. On Claude, a setting on personal accounts decides whether Anthropic can use your chats for training, and it can keep training data for up to five years.

Where it runs

Mellovy AB is a Swedish company, and we host in the EU. But a few of the AI companies we use process data outside the European Economic Area, under the EU’s rules for sending data abroad. And Anthropic hasn’t said where it keeps what Duet does, its files or its browser data.

Contract

If you’re a business, Mellovy gives you a data processing agreement. But Duet runs on personal Claude accounts, and it doesn’t have one.

Deleting

On Claude, when you delete a chat, Anthropic removes it from its systems within 30 days. Anthropic doesn’t say how long Duet keeps tasks and files. Mellovy deletes your data when you ask or when you close your account.

• Choose Mellovy if you’re a team, and you want something other than whoever did the work to check every result. You don’t want to build agents or look after them. And you’d like a Swedish company that runs from the EU.
• Choose ChatGPT Dots if you’re in ChatGPT all day and pay for Pro outside Europe, or for Business Premium or Enterprise. And you want agents that start from what ChatGPT already remembers about you.
• Choose Grok Bot if you’re already on Premium or higher on The X Subscription, and you want a few personal agents on your computer and phone today.
• Choose Lindy if you want one teammate your people can message in Slack, iMessage or Gmail. And security checks matter to you.
• Choose Dust if you want agents your whole team shares, that know what your company knows. And you want to be able to keep your data in the EU.
• Choose Relevance AI if you’re a big business that wants teams of agents working across 2,000 other tools, and you’re fine buying through a sales call.
• Choose Zapier Agents if you’re already on Zapier, and you want agents that can act in all the apps you’ve connected.
• Choose Gumloop if it’s the people closest to the job who’ll build the agents, not engineers. And you want them in Slack or Microsoft Teams.
• Choose n8n if you want it on your own servers, with a say over every step. And there’s someone on the team who’s fine with code.

We haven’t tried every tool ourselves. But we’ve read what each one says it does, what it costs and how it handles security. Every fact on this page links back to where we found it. And we asked them all the same six questions.

Where it lives

Is it in a chat app like Slack, in an app of its own, or on a computer of its own?

Who it’s for

Is it for you alone, for a team, or for the whole company?

Who checks the work

Does something other than the agent look at the result before you rely on it?

Who builds it

Do you design the agent yourself, or do you say what you want and get it set up for you?

Where your data goes

Where does it run? Can you keep your data in the EU? And what security checks has it published?

What it costs

The cheapest paid plan, what’s in it, and how they count what you use.

02 ChatGPT Dots

ChatGPT Dots are OpenAI’s agents that keep working in the background. Each dot has its own computer in the cloud, separate from yours, and it uses your connected apps.

You decide what a dot may do. Custom Rules let you allow an action or block it, or ask for your approval first. And an automatic review checks the risky ones. On ChatGPT Pro you can’t get dots in the EU, Norway, Iceland, Liechtenstein, the UK or Switzerland. OpenAI is rolling out Business Premium and Enterprise worldwide.

04 Lindy

Lindy is a helper that works like a teammate. It remembers things and repeats jobs on a schedule. It can also join meetings and make phone calls. It’s in Slack threads and iMessage, and you can email it or use a Chrome extension inside Gmail.

It comes with more than 40 ready-made skills and connects to over 1,500 other tools. And anything that affects the outside world waits for your approval. Everyone on the team draws from one shared pool of credits, and that’s the usage you pay for. When the pool runs out, Lindy pauses. It doesn’t charge you more.

06 Relevance AI

Relevance AI is a platform for building AI agents, and teams of agents that work together, without much code. You build the agents and give them what they need to know. Then you connect them to more than 2,000 other tools.

It has agents that make phone calls and join meetings, and ways to test how well an agent does. It says it has passed an independent security audit and follows EU privacy law. And it hides personal details before an AI model sees them.

08 Gumloop

Gumloop is a platform for building teams of AI agents that use all your tools. You can find them in the web app, in Slack and in Microsoft Teams. And each one can have its own email inbox.

It’s got more than 35 AI models to pick from, or you can plug in accounts you already have with AI companies. Company Brain lets agents answer from what your business knows. Gumloop says it’s passed an independent audit of its security. It says it follows privacy law in the EU too, and that the AI providers it uses don’t keep your data.
