Claude Duet research preview: an always-on Opus 5.5 agent
Claude Duet launched as a research preview on Opus 5.5: a VM-hosted agent checks connected accounts, sends briefs, and requires approval before risky actions.
the Grok Bot you glued together for three f*cking weekends is now a checkbox in Claude Pro. Claude Duet. research preview, launched today. Opus 5.5 under the hood. US Pro and Max first, via waitlist. one rule: nothing ships without you tapping approve. the agent runs on its own VM with a browser. checks your connected accounts every few hours. one short brief in the morning. only writes when something actually needs you. your laptop and phone can be off the whole time. the Marketplace layer it plugs into: → 6000+ connectors live, Gmail, Slack, Stripe, QuickBooks, Gusto, Docusign, HubSpot, Canva, Shopify → purchases go through Stripe Link virtual cards, your real card number never leaves the vault → asks for approval before every send, pay, sign or delete. no exceptions → trading and transfers between accounts stay blocked even if you say yes the honest line: research preview, US only, waitlist. passwords and tokens are never visible to the agent. the headline is not the features, it is the pause before every move that could hurt. what is the first job you'd hand it?
