Anthropic launches Claude Duet proactive agent
Claude Duet is a separate app that reads email and calendar to send morning briefs, draft replies, and follow up on quiet threads; it runs in the cloud, requires approval for sensitive actions, and is US-only via waitlist for Pro and Max.
Anthropic just launched Claude Duet, an AI agent that works before you ask. what it is: > a separate app that sends a morning brief from your email and calendar. > drafts replies and follows up on threads gone quiet > runs in the cloud, so your phone doesn't need to be on. safety: > asks your approval before it sends, pays, signs or deletes. > never sees your passwords. > some actions are off-limits even with approval, like trading securities. access: • US only, Pro and Max plans, via waitlist. • shares your normal Claude usage limits. • invites rolling out in waves, outside the US "being worked on". Anthropic admits it "might misread a thread or miscalibrate what's urgent." so the real test isn't what it can do. It's whether it can act first without annoying you. would you give an AI agent access to your inbox ?
