Claude's official account announced the research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent.
- It brings what needs your attention to you, completes tasks you ask of it
- Keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before acting on your behalf
- Third-party reporting says it is built around Claude Opus 5.5, offered via waitlist to US Pro/Max subscribers
It marks Claude's shift from a passive chat assistant to a continuously running proactive agent product.
