Anthropic Launches Claude Duet to Compete in the Always-On AI Agent Market
Anthropic has introduced Claude Duet, a proactive AI agent powered by Claude Opus 5.5 capable of executing tasks offline. Connecting to thousands of services including Gmail and Slack, Duet handles complex workflows autonomously while requiring explicit user approval for sensitive transactions. This launch positions Anthropic directly against emerging agentic products from OpenAI, Meta, and xAI.
