Claude Duet (research preview)

Anthropic announced Claude Duet, a proactive personal agent with its own iOS and Android apps, as a US research preview.

Duet runs on Opus 5.5 in its own virtual machine, sends a daily briefing of action items from connected apps, takes on tasks in the background and checks in before acting. For now it is a waitlist for US Claude subscribers; Anthropic says Pro ($20/month) subscribers get it at general availability. It competes with Meta Muse and OpenAI Dots.
