Anthropic launches Claude Duet agent as a research preview
Original title: Anthropic takes on Muse with Claude Duet, its new AI agent
The Opus 5.5 agent, for US Pro or Max subscribers, briefs users and seeks approval before payments or deletions.
Claude Duet is aimed at professionals and small business owners and is offered on iOS, Android, and Claude on the web. It watches connected apps, sends a morning brief, and can handle tasks from scheduling to dashboards, forecasts, prototypes, and web apps using a virtual machine and browser. Anthropic says the early version may misread threads or urgency and is weaker at personal errands such as booking tickets.
- Anthropic positions it against Meta's Muse and OpenAI's Dots.
- A new classifier is meant to reject requests to share credit card numbers.
- It asks for approval before sending a payment or deleting something.
- Access is a US waitlist limited to Pro or Max subscribers.
