Claude Duet
What happened
Claude Duet is a proactive AI agent that you interact with via messages, designed to flag important items in your inbox and calendar and draft replies. It can handle tasks of any size, such as scheduling meetings, building dashboards, or preparing briefs, and will pause until you approve actions that need your attention. Powered by Opus 5.5, it is available in Pro, Max, and Ultra plans in the US and uses the same memory, skills, and app connections as the Claude app. The agent operates on its own cloud computer, keeping sensitive data private, and provides a daily morning brief summarizing key information.
Why it matters
For ordinary readers, Claude Duet could reduce the time spent sorting emails and planning, letting them focus on higher‑level decisions. It also promises privacy by running approvals and safety checks in the user’s own cloud environment.
Reality check
An automated, sceptical read of the sourceIncremental. The feature adds proactive assistance to an existing Claude platform but does not introduce fundamentally new AI capabilities.
