Anthropic has introduced Claude Duet, an AI agent aimed at professionals and small business owners, now available as a research preview. This new tool can be accessed via a standalone app on iOS and Android, as well as through the web, and is designed to streamline tasks and manage notifications from connected applications.
Claude Duet utilizes Claude Opus 5.5 and features a virtual machine for task completion. While it can handle various administrative tasks, it is still in early development and may not perform optimally in all scenarios, particularly with personal errands.
As Claude Duet rolls out, users should monitor its integration with existing workflows and the effectiveness of its task management capabilities. Watch for updates on its performance in real-world scenarios, especially in handling sensitive tasks and personal errands.
