In this app, Claude Duet, Claude comes to the user when something needs attention, completes tasks the user has requested, keeps working even when the user steps away and checks with the user before acting on their behalf, according to the announcement.

“What makes Claude Duet so helpful is its judgment,” Anthropic said in the announcement. “We designed it around Claude Opus 5.5 and built it to be resourceful and to decide what needs you, what can wait and when to check with you first.”

Anthropic made Claude Duet available by waitlist to Pro and Max subscribers in the U.S. on Wednesday.
