Anthropic opens research preview of Claude Duet, a proactive agent app
Tegadesigns · x · 2026-10-22
Anthropic has opened a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent rather than a passive chatbot.
- Claude proactively surfaces what needs your attention
- It completes tasks you ask of it and keeps working when you step away
- It checks with you before acting on your behalf
This marks a notable step for Anthropic from assistant-style chat toward a continuously running agent product, currently available as a research preview.
