Anthropic introduces Claude Duet, a proactive personal agent

Summary

Anthropic has opened a research preview of Claude Duet, a personal agent app that comes to you with what needs attention instead of waiting to be asked. It sends a short morning brief across connected apps, takes tasks from a single message such as scheduling or building dashboards, and keeps working on its own cloud computer while you step away. Before sensitive actions like sending messages or making payments it asks for approval, and it will not trade securities or move money between accounts even with approval. Built on Opus 5.5, it starts as a waitlist for Pro and Max subscribers in the US.

Why it matters for our work

Duet marks the arrival of agents that proactively take on work in a commercial assistant, shifting AI collaboration from answering questions to handing off routine coordination so people can focus on judgment calls.
