Anthropic has launched Claude Duet, a separate app where Claude works as a proactive agent. It sends a morning brief, does tasks in the background and asks before it acts.

What changed

  • A new app. Claude Duet is available on iPhone, Android and the web at claude.ai, for people who are let in.
  • A waitlist. Access starts with US Pro and Max subscribers. Invites go out in waves.
  • Safety first. Duet asks before it sends messages, pays, signs documents or deletes anything.
  • Rivals. Duet arrives weeks after Meta Muse and OpenAI Dots.

What it means for you

  • If you’re in the US on Pro or Max: join the waitlist now. See how to get Claude Duet.
  • If you’re on Free, Team or Enterprise, or outside the US: you can’t get Duet yet. Anthropic says Team and Enterprise come later.
  • If you’re worried about cost: there’s no extra charge during the preview, but Duet uses your plan’s limits. See Claude Duet pricing.
  • If you’re choosing an agent: compare your options in Claude Duet vs Meta Muse.
