The story so far

Anthropic has opened Claude Duet, an agent app built on Claude Opus 5.5, as a research preview, with access through a waitlist for US Pro and Max subscribers. It is available as standalone iOS and Android apps and through Claude.ai. Baoyu reports that eligible subscribers can try it at no additional charge; The Decoder reports that usage counts toward limits shared with other Claude products and that Team and Enterprise plans are not included. Anthropic says Duet brings matters needing attention to users, completes delegated tasks, and keeps working while they are away. The Decoder reports that it checks connected apps every few hours, while TechCrunch reports that it creates briefings and dashboards, recommends actions, and connects to more than 6,000 connectors and plugins in the Claude Marketplace. Anthropic says Duet requires approval before sending messages, making payments, signing documents, or deleting anything, and acknowledges that it can misread threads or miss updates.
