Summary Report

Claude Duet is Anthropic's proactive agent app, running on Opus 5.5 and checking with you before it acts.

  • 01. Surfaces what needs attention, works in the background, asks before acting
  • 02. Runs on Opus 5.5; waitlist for US Pro and Max; counts toward usage limits
Anthropic has opened a research preview of Claude Duet, a standalone app where Claude works as a proactive agent. It comes to you with what needs your attention from your email and calendar, completes tasks you hand it, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before acting on your behalf. Duet runs on Opus 5.5 and uses the memory and skills already in your Claude account, by text or voice. It's waitlisted for Pro and Max users in the US, and background work counts toward usage limits.
