Anthropic Unveils Claude Duet AI Agent App
The research preview lets Claude handle email, calendars and app tasks in the background, with invitations rolling out to U.S. subscribers in waves.
- On Wednesday, Anthropic launched Claude Duet, a proactive AI agent for Pro and Max subscribers available through a waitlisted research preview that manages tasks across connected apps.
- Built around the Claude Opus 5.5 model, Duet integrates with over 6,000 connectors in the Claude Marketplace and runs on cloud infrastructure to continue working after users close the app.
- The AI lab said Claude Duet requires user approval for sensitive actions, using a "new dedicated classifier and safety system prompt" designed to reject requests to share sensitive information like credit card numbers.
- This release heightens competition with OpenAI's Dots and Meta's Muse, which drew more than 14 million installations, as Anthropic targets professionals and small business owners juggling demanding workloads.
- "It can have the discernment and judgment around when to be proactive," said Mike Krieger, a co-lead of Anthropic's Labs team, though the company acknowledges the early version may occasionally miscalculate urgency or struggle with personal errands.
