Claude Duet is Anthropic's app in which Claude acts as a proactive agent: it points out what needs you, works on tasks while you are away and asks before acting for you.
In plain words
Each morning Duet briefs you, suggests next steps, then stays quiet until a decision needs you. You can hand it bigger jobs, such as setting up a meeting or building a dashboard, and it reports back when done. It runs on Opus 5.5, keeps your memory, skills and apps from the Claude app, and links to over 6,000 connectors and plugins. Anthropic aims it at professionals and small business owners. The preview is part of the Pro, Max and Ultra plans and opens by waitlist, on iOS, Android and claude.ai.
A quick example
Imagine a café owner getting ready to open a second shop. Each morning the assistant lists the few things that need the owner that day, such as a permit form to approve, and keeps track of everything else quietly.
Where you'll meet it
- Morning briefings on what needs a busy professional's attention.
- Small-business jobs such as setting up meetings or building dashboards.
