Claude's new Duet app tries to act for you, with your OK
Anthropic, the company behind the Claude chatbot, opened a research preview of Claude Duet, a separate app where Claude works as a proactive agent. Ben's Bites reports the app is mobile-only and limited to the US for now.
An agent is AI that takes actions for you rather than only answering questions. Anthropic says Duet brings you what needs attention, completes tasks you ask for and checks with you before acting on your behalf. A research preview is an early test version, so nothing about how well it handles real work is proven yet.
Worth a look if you already use Claude or want to see where AI assistants are heading. If you run your business on DMs and follow-ups, wait for evidence that it handles that work reliably before handing it access to your accounts.
