Anthropic Announces Claude Duet, a Personal AI Agent

Anthropic announced Claude Duet today. It is a personal AI assistant designed to take action on its own and will be offered separately from the main Claude experience. It is now available as a research preview on Android, iPhone, and the web. People with Claude Pro and Max subscriptions can join a waitlist to try it.

“We designed Claude Duet to be a partner you can trust,” Anthropic says. “Professionals of all kinds have to make many decisions every day, and we think they’ll find Claude Duet most useful. It helps you decide where to spend your time and energy, while making room for big projects that once seemed impossible or too difficult to tackle.”

Claude Duet will compete with other personal AI assistants, including Gemini Spark, Meta Muse, Microsoft Autopilot, and OpenAI Dots. However, the timing of its launch suggests that Anthropic may have been caught a little off guard by its competitors. Unlike those other options, Claude Duet is designed specifically for work rather than everyday tasks. It works with more than 6,000 apps, is built on Opus 5.5, and is designed to stay in touch with you throughout the day.

“Each morning, Claude Duet sends you a short summary of the most important things in your connected apps,” Anthropic explains. “Throughout the day, it monitors those apps and messages you only when something needs your attention. You can also give it many kinds of tasks, from simple office work like scheduling meetings to more complex jobs, such as building dashboards using dozens of tools, creating financial or sales forecasts, testing early ideas, and building web apps.”
