Anthropic Launches Claude Duet AI Agent Research Preview
Anthropic has announced the launch of Claude Duet, a new AI agent designed specifically for professionals and small business owners. Currently in research preview, the tool is powered by the Claude Opus 5.5 model and is available via web browsers as well as standalone iOS and Android applications. The agent functions as an automated assistant capable of monitoring connected apps, providing daily briefings, and executing complex tasks such as building dashboards, creating financial forecasts, and prototyping web applications. To ensure security while handling sensitive data, Anthropic has implemented a dedicated safety classifier to prevent the sharing of highly restricted information like credit card numbers. While Claude Duet offers advanced capabilities through a virtual machine with browser access, Anthropic notes it is an early version that may still misinterpret urgency or struggle with personal errands. Access is currently limited to Pro and Max subscribers in the United States via a waitlist.
