⚡Anthropic launched Claude Duet, an AI agent for collaboration and personal assistance.

What it means

Anthropic has launched Claude Duet, a proactive AI agent for desktop and mobile that monitors connected applications, prepares tasks, and can take actions autonomously after user approval. It runs on Anthropic's Opus 5.5 model, integrates with over 6,000 services, and is designed to initiate work alongside the user rather than waiting for commands. The product is currently available via a US waitlist for Claude Pro and Max subscribers.

Accuracy & sourcesSourced

The claim stems directly from Anthropic's official product announcement. Multiple reputable tech outlets (VentureBeat, The Next Web, Firstpost) confirm the same details, indicating the announcement is accurate. Although I am relying on secondary summaries, the consistency across sources supports the reported launch and features.
