Anthropic launches Claude Duet AI agent for background work

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Anthropic has launched Claude Duet, a proactive AI agent currently in a US research preview for Android, iOS, and web users. Powered by Claude Opus 5.5, Duet operates independently in its own virtual machine, performing background tasks like scheduling meetings and preparing forecasts without needing an open chat window. Access to Duet requires a Claude Pro or Max subscription, and its background work counts towards existing usage limits, with privacy safeguards in place to protect sensitive data. AI

IMPACT This launch signifies a move towards AI agents that can operate autonomously in the background, potentially changing how users interact with productivity tools.

RANK_REASON Product launch of an AI agent that integrates with existing apps and performs tasks, rather than a core model release.
