Anthropic opens research preview of Claude Duet, a proactive agent app

- Anthropic announced a research preview of Claude Duet, an app where Claude works as a proactive agent: it surfaces what needs your attention, completes tasks, keeps working while you're away, and checks before acting on your behalf.
- Early user comparisons: Duet is seen as more thoughtful and better at proactive work than OpenAI's Dot, though Dot still wins at orchestrating many computers at once; many run both.
- A shared team screenshot shows 17 of 24 people already rank OpenAI Dot as their top tool, while Claude Duet picked up 4 users on day one.
