Anthropic opens a research preview of Claude Duet, a proactive AI agent app

  • Models & tools

Claude Duet is a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent. Each morning it sends you a short brief on the most important items across your connected apps, then messages you only when something needs your attention. It works on its own cloud computer with its own browser, runs on Claude Opus 5.5 and can use the 6,000+ connectors and plugins in the Claude Marketplace. Before it sends a message, makes a payment, signs a document or deletes anything, it waits for your approval; trading securities and moving money between accounts are off-limits even with your OK. The catch: it shares your plan's usage limits, and Anthropic says it may still misread a thread or misjudge what's urgent.

How we verify

  1. Two independent, reliable sources for every claim. Every fact, number and claim in a story has to appear in at least two independent sources. Outlets that only repeat another outlet's report count as one source.
  2. Quotes come from the primary source. We check every quote against the original statement, post, paper or document.
  3. Unverified means removed. If something can't be confirmed, we cut it. We don't post it with a caveat.
  4. Sources are linked. Every story lists the sources we used, so you can check them yourself.
