Anthropic launched Claude Duet, a new AI assistant that works in the background, handles tasks, and keeps you updated without waiting for you to start a conversation.
Powered by Claude Opus 5.5, Duet connects to your apps and keeps track of what needs attention.
- Prepares morning briefings with updates from your connected apps.
- Schedules meetings, builds dashboards, and creates web apps.
- Runs on its own cloud computer and requests approval for sensitive actions.
- Offers a research preview through a waitlist for US Pro and Max subscribers.
With OpenAI, Meta, and Anthropic racing to build autonomous assistants, who will lead the AI agent race?
