Claude Duet

AI summary

Claude Duet is a proactive agent powered by Opus 5.5, available in Pro and Max plans in the US as a research preview. It takes on tasks, works autonomously, and waits for user approval when necessary. Built for judgment, it provides morning briefs, drafts next steps, and can manage business operations like invoices and payroll. Users interact with it via messages, and it utilizes the user's Claude account memory, skills, and apps.

Why this one

Unlike the existing Claude app, Claude Duet proactively comes to the user, signaling a shift from reactive AI assistants to autonomous agents that initiate interaction.
