Overview

Claude Duet is a standalone research-preview app announced by Anthropic on October 21, 2026, in which Claude works as a proactive agent for professionals and small-business owners. It sends a short morning brief on important items from connected apps, checks those apps every few hours, and alerts the user when something needs attention. It runs in the cloud on a virtual machine with its own browser, is built on Claude Opus 5.5, and asks for approval before actions such as sending messages, making payments, signing documents, or deleting files. Access is by waitlist for US Pro and Max subscribers.
