Anthropic rolls out Claude Duet AI agent with 6,000+ connectors, background tasks and daily briefs

Anthropic has introduced Claude Duet, a proactive AI agent designed for professionals and small business owners. It helps users manage ongoing projects and routine business activities by carrying out assigned tasks and identifying work that needs their attention. Built around Claude Opus 5.5, Claude Duet carries over the user’s memory, skills and connected apps from their Claude account. Users can communicate with it through text or voice in one ongoing thread, allowing it to handle quick requests and longer projects without requiring a new conversation for each task. Unlike the regular Claude app, which waits for users to initiate a chat, Claude Duet can reach out with a morning brief covering important items across connected apps.
