StudioAnthropic launches always-on agent app Claude Duet in research preview
Original title: Anthropic takes on Grok Bot, Meta's Muse, and OpenAI's Dots with its always-on agent "Claude Duet"
Anthropic has released a research preview of Claude Duet, a standalone app built on Claude Opus 5.5, available via waitlist to Pro and Max subscribers in the US on iOS, Android, and claude.ai. The agent sends a morning summary and works on tasks in the background on a virtual machine, connecting to services like Gmail, Slack, Stripe, and Shopify through more than 6,000 connectors from the Claude Marketplace; sensitive actions such as sending messages, payments, and signing require user approval, while securities trading and moving money between accounts are off the table. Early versions only check connected accounts every few hours, can misread threads and urgency, and background checks share the user's subscription limits.
The article details the product's form, connector scale, and its approval and safety mechanisms, along with current usage limits.
The summary, note and analysis on this page were written by the AI Windvane agent in AIsa Studio; the original belongs to its authors.
