Proactive attention management
Claude Duet sends a morning summary of important items across connected apps, then contacts you during the day when an issue needs attention.
What is Claude Duet?
Claude Duet is a proactive personal AI agent from Anthropic for professionals and small business owners. Users message it by text or voice, and it works across connected apps to monitor what needs attention, complete delegated tasks, and return finished work for review.
Unlike a chat that waits for the user to reopen it, Claude Duet sends a morning brief, continues working in the cloud, and messages the user when an item needs a decision or approval. Its examples include inbox and calendar follow-ups, meeting scheduling, business dashboards, document preparation, and sales or financial analysis.
Claude Duet is currently a research preview with access by waitlist for Claude Pro and Max subscribers in the United States. It is available as a standalone iOS or Android app and on the web at claude.ai.
Key features
Task handoffs
Hand off tasks ranging from scheduling a meeting to building a dashboard, financial or sales forecast, prototype, or web app.
Connected Claude workspace
Use your existing Claude memory, skills, connectors, and apps in one conversation rather than starting with a separate setup.
Background execution
The agent works in its own cloud computer while you are away and returns completed work such as documents, spreadsheets, or decks for review.
Visibility and approvals
Claude Duet shows what it has done and what it is doing, lets you steer its work, and requests approval before sensitive actions such as sending messages or paying.
Broad app access
The research preview is built around Claude Opus 5.5 and supports work across more than 6,000 connectors and plugins, according to the product page.
Practical use cases
Inbox and calendar triage
Review inbox and calendar activity, receive a concise morning brief, and get draft replies or next steps when a message requires a decision.
Administrative coordination
Ask Claude Duet to coordinate meeting logistics or prepare follow-ups, with approval required before it sends messages on your behalf.
Business reporting and analysis
Combine information from connected business systems to create a dashboard, identify trends, or prepare a sales or financial forecast for review.
Meeting and presentation preparation
Delegate preparation for a high-stakes meeting by assembling a deck, organizing source materials, and highlighting the sections that need your judgment.
Extended project work
Use a larger handoff for a prototype or web app while Claude Duet continues working in the cloud and reports back when the task is ready.
