Key Info

Anthropic opened a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app in which Claude acts as a proactive agent that brings tasks to the user's attention, completes requested work, and continues while the user is away.

Highlights

  • Claude Duet checks with the user before acting on their behalf, and key decisions remain with the user.
  • Safety measures include never directly seeing passwords and a new classifier that guards against sharing sensitive information.
  • The preview is available via a waitlist on Pro and Max plans in the US.
  • Anthropic cautions that the early preview can still misjudge what is urgent and will be tuned based on early user feedback.
