felixrieseberg · x · 2026-10-22
Anthropic engineer Felix Rieseberg announced the waitlist for Claude Duet, a lightweight proactive agent (research preview).
- Form factor: An always-on assistant that knows what needs your attention — morning briefs, drafted next steps, then quiet until a decision is required.
- Capabilities: Takes on tasks like scheduling meetings or building dashboards, with built-in approvals (e.g., paying a $640 county health permit and booking inspection).
- Powered by Opus 5.5, available to US Pro/Max plans, works with 6,000+ connectors and inherits your Claude memory, skills, and apps in one thread.
- Design focus: judgment — it won't do things you didn't want and waits for your OK when it matters.
