Anthropic announced Claude Duet, an AI agent built around Claude Opus 5.5, as a research preview for professionals and small business owners. Available through standalone iOS and Android apps and Claude on the web, it monitors connected apps, sends briefings, and handles delegated tasks while requesting approval before major actions. Access requires joining a waitlist and being a Pro or Max subscriber in the US.

Anthropic is opening Claude Duet as a research preview, starting with a waitlist. Mike Krieger says he has used it for a few weeks at work and at home, where it drafted fireside chat questions, watched Slack over the weekend, and ordered a book from his local bookstore after he asked. Anthropic says Opus 5.5 was its first model with the judgment to be proactive in the right ways.

We’re opening a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent. It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf.
