Claude Duet
An AI agent product launched by Anthropic for professionals and small business owners. It supports standalone iOS and Android apps as well as web access, and was released as a research preview.
Core Facts
Grok Bot has its own computing environment and is capable of logging into users' various tools and completing operations.
Claude Duet generates a briefing for the user every morning and keeps working in the background.
Users can access Claude Duet through standalone iOS and Android apps as well as on the web (via Claude).
Timeline (last 90 days)
After receiving authorization, Claude Duet periodically checks connected apps and proactively reminds users when it finds important emails or to-do items.
Claude Duet's tasks run in the cloud, so tasks can continue even if the user turns off their phone.
Claude Duet explicitly focuses on work scenarios, and its target users are professionals and small business owners.
Claude Duet requires user approval for sensitive operations such as sending emails and making payments.
The core change in Claude Duet is that the interaction mode shifts to proactively initiating conversations: every morning it pushes a briefing of key items to the user, the user can assign tasks via voice with a tone shift, and after the user puts down the phone Claude keeps working.
Claude Duet is currently available as a research preview to a waitlist of Pro and Max users in the United States.
In Claude Duet, passwords and login tokens do not pass through the model, and payments use one-time virtual cards.
Whether Claude Duet's approval cards can become a general paradigm for proactive agents still depends on subsequent real-world usage feedback and security incident records.
The four AI Agent products OpenAI Dots, Metamuse, Grok Bot, and Claude Duet can all work across applications, and each has its own independent cloud computer environment, enabling the Agent to perform operations on behalf of the user rather than just generating text.
Claude Duet takes a more proactive interaction approach, is currently available only to Pro and Max subscribers, and uses a waitlist system in the United States.
