Claude Duet works across more than 6,000 connectors
Powered by Claude Opus 5.5, the agent sends you a morning brief covering important updates from connected apps and checks those accounts every few hours. It can flag relevant messages, prepare replies and notify you when a task is complete or requires a decision.
Duet supports more than 6,000 connectors and plugins through the Claude Marketplace. It can find missed Gmail and Slack messages, identify unpaid invoices through QuickBooks or Stripe, prepare payroll in Gusto, draft LinkedIn job posts, prepare agreements through DocuSign and create marketing campaigns in Canva. It can also help manage Shopify stores and draft follow-ups using HubSpot data.
The agent runs on a virtual machine with its own browser, so you don't need to keep your phones or computers on. It also carries over memory, skills and connected apps from their existing Claude accounts.

Availability, safety and limitations
Claude Duet is available as a standalone app for iOS and Android, as well as on the web. The research preview is limited to US-based Claude Pro and Max subscribers through a waitlist. Team and Enterprise plans are not included, and the agent shares existing Claude usage limits. Background checks and larger tasks count towards those limits.
Anthropic says Duet does not directly see passwords or sign-in tokens. It requires approval before sending messages, making payments, signing documents or deleting files. It prohibits trading securities and moving money between accounts, even with approval. You can also disconnect apps at any time.
The launch places Anthropic in the growing AI-agent market alongside OpenAI and Meta. However, Duet remains an early version, and it can misjudge urgency, miss updates between checks and is less suited to personal errands such as booking tickets.
