Claude Duet’s US research preview is waitlisted for Pro and Max, shares plan limits, and asks before acting.

Anthropic opened a research preview of Claude Duet, an agent that messages users about connected accounts, keeps working on a cloud computer when they step away, and asks before sending, paying, signing, or deleting. It is waitlisted for Claude Pro and Max subscribers in the United States on iOS, Android, and claude.ai, and is powered by Opus 5.5. Team and Enterprise plans are excluded, and background checks count against plan limits. Trading securities and moving money stay off-limits even with approval. Credentials stay out of the agent’s direct view, and a new classifier is meant to block leaks of credit card numbers and government IDs unless the user allows other sensitive data. Anthropic says it may misjudge urgency or miss items between check-ins. Red teams and an external firm tested it, and it is in Anthropic’s public bug bounty.

Key facts
  • Powered by Opus 5.5 for US Pro and Max, not Team or Enterprise.
