On October 21, following SpaceXSI, Meta and OpenAI, Anthropic became the latest AI lab to release a personal agent. Like its competitors, the company is billing Claude Duet as an always-on AI agent that can proactively complete tasks for you, even when you're away from your phone or computer. Duet runs on its own virtual machine, with access to a dedicated browser it can use to surf the web and complete jobs. It can also use any apps you've connected to your Claude account. If you're curious about Claude Duet, here's what you need to know about availability and how much it will cost you to run the agent.
As of the writing of this article, Duet is currently in preview, with availability limited to Claude Pro and Max subscribers in the US. What's more, you'll need to join a waitlist before you can start using the agent. You can find that waitlist on Anthropic's website. The company asks you to enter your name, company and email address. You'll also need to indicate the type of phone you use, be it an Android or iPhone, and write a short description of the type of work you intend to hand off to Claude. Anthropic asks you to share what device you use because it offers a standalone Claude Duet app on Android and iOS.
While things may change, Anthropic says it will include Duet as a perk of its $20 per month Pro plan and up. Notably, that differs from OpenAI's Dot agents , which you can currently only get by paying for one of the company's own Pro plans.
