Anthropic joins the personal agent race with Claude Duet preview

Anthropic has opened a waitlist for Claude Duet, a research-preview personal agent for US Pro and Max subscribers. Built on Claude Opus 5.5, it runs in the background on its own virtual machine, sends a morning brief and works across more than 6,000 connectors. It must ask before sending, paying, signing or deleting. Coverage pits it against Meta's Muse and OpenAI's Dots.
