It takes on tasks of all sizes, keeps working while you’re away, and waits for your ok when it matters.\n\nPowered by Opus 5.5. Available in Pro and Max plans in the US.\n\n## Built for judgment\n\n- Claude Duet briefs you every morning, drafts next steps, then goes quiet until something needs you.\n- Send a message and it sets up a meeting or builds a dashboard, then shares when it’s done.\n- Your memory, skills, and apps from the Claude app are there from the first message, all in one thread.\n\n## Safe, secure, private\n\n- Claude Duet asks you before sensitive operations like sending messages or paying.\n- Approvals, logins, and safety checks run in your own cloud computer, so sensitive details stay private.\n- You can see what Claude Duet has done and is doing for you, and steer it.\n\nClaude Duet is a helpful, proactive agent you hand off work to through messages. Tell it what you need and it works on its own computer in the cloud, using apps you connect. It messages you when it is done or needs a decision from you. While it’s always on, it uses good judgment when it reaches out and knows what can wait.\n\nMessage Claude Duet in the app like a teammate you trust, through text or voice with no prompts or setup. Your history is in one thread. It remembers what you said before, and returns finished work like a doc, sheet, or deck for your review.\n\nClaude Duet uses your Claude account, including memory, skills, and connectors. The Claude app waits for you to open a chat, and you work on something alongside Claude. Claude Duet comes to you. It tells you what needs your attention each morning, takes tasks you hand it by message, and reaches out when one is done or needs your approval.\n\nClaude Duet can send a morning brief, flag what needs you in your inbox and calendar, and draft replies for you to approve. It also takes on some of the work of running a business, like finding unpaid invoices and drafting the reminders, preparing payroll for you to review, and getting contracts ready to send. It can put together a brief, deck, or dashboard too.\n\nClaude Duet is a research preview on a waitlist for Claude Pro and Max subscribers in the US. Team and Enterprise plans are not included yet.\n\nDuring the research preview, Claude Duet shares your plan’s usage limits with the rest of Claude, and uses them differently than a typical conversation. Its background checks count toward those limits. Larger tasks, like building a financial model or a deck, require more model turns and background work.\n\nClaude Duet is a standalone app for iOS and Android. On a computer, you can open it on the web at claude.ai.\n\nClaude Duet is a research preview. It may misread a thread or miscalibrate what’s urgent, and it can miss something that arrives between checking in with you.", "url": "https://wpnews.pro/news/claude-duet", "canonical_source": "https://claude.com/product/claude-duet", "published_at": "2026-10-21 19:14:01+00:00", "updated_at": "2026-10-21 19:41:03.308466+00:00", "lang": "en", "topics": ["ai-agents", "ai-products", "artificial-intelligence", "large-language-models"], "entities": ["Anthropic", "Claude Duet", "Opus 5.5", "Claude", "Claude Pro", "Claude Max"], "also_reported_by": [], "alternates": {"html": "https://wpnews.pro/news/claude-duet", "markdown": "https://wpnews.pro/news/claude-duet.md", "text": "https://wpnews.pro/news/claude-duet.txt", "jsonld": "https://wpnews.pro/news/claude-duet.jsonld"}}
