dotey · x · 2026-10-28
Details of Anthropic's Claude Duet research preview have surfaced, with a waitlist now open. Key points:
- Positioning: a proactive agent that knows what needs your attention, takes on tasks of all sizes, keeps working while you're away, and waits for your approval on critical actions
- Model & availability: powered by Opus 5.5, available in Pro and Max plans in the US only
- Integrations: works with 6,000+ connectors and plugins; your existing Claude memory, skills and apps carry over in one thread
- Core features: morning briefs with drafted next steps; handles large tasks like setting up meetings or building dashboards; approval-gated actions (e.g. paying a $640 health permit fee)
Demo scenarios include hiring deadlines, a redlined $410K renewal summary, a 41-item store opening checklist, and a Series A deck rebuild, complete with an in-flow payment approval UI.
