Can anyone explain these to me? What does it do in practice that ChatGPT or Claude by itself does not. I look at it but it really doesn't click.
Paint me a real world picture.

If you think about it, a lot of things require initative by a human (I need to call my doctor to make an appointment; I need to check the railway service app to see if my train has any delays; I need to look at the weather report and remember to grab an umbrella). The value that these assistants offer is to remove the need for action from the human (Duet made an appointment with my doctor and put it into my calendar; Duet warned me about the delay before I actually got to the train station; Duet warns me about rain before I even leave the house).
Kinda like how rich people have an assistant that does a bunch of stuff for them. I guess in the end this is mostly about freeing headspace.
Of course, as developers we are able to build this for a while now, but most people are not.
