Anthropic Launches Claude Duet AI Agent for Professional Task Automation

Anthropic has introduced Claude Duet, a new AI agent designed to compete in the rapidly evolving market of autonomous assistants. Unlike personal assistants focused on errands, Duet targets professionals and small businesses by automating complex workflows such as creating daily briefings, building dashboards, and suggesting data-driven actions. The agent operates via a virtual machine to complete tasks in the background, requesting user approval for critical steps. Built on the Claude Opus 5.5 model, Duet integrates with over 6,000 plugins through the Claude Marketplace and can facilitate online purchases using Stripe’s Link or Shopify’s Shop Pay. To address security concerns, Anthropic implemented a new classifier to prevent the leakage of sensitive information like credit card numbers. The app is currently in research preview for Pro and Max customers on iOS, Android, and web via a waitlist.
