Anthropic launches personal agent Claude Duet, US waitlist only

KEY FACTS

  • Anthropic released Claude Duet, a research-preview personal agent, and US Claude subscribers can join the waitlist.
  • Duet generates a daily action-list briefing and can schedule meetings, build dashboards, and produce forecasts.
  • Duet runs on the Opus 5.5 model and ships with standalone iOS and Android apps.
  • Duet runs in the background on a separate virtual machine, so users do not need to keep a Claude session open.
  • Pro subscribers paying $20 per month will get access once it reaches general release.

PHYSIX OBSERVATION

Anthropic is pushing a personal agent down to the $20 Pro tier, aiming straight at OpenAI's hundred-dollar Dots, and the price gap is the key to winning users. But Duet shares quota with Code, and combined with polling the account every few hours, heavy users may hit rate limits fast. On safety, not letting the agent see passwords leaves some buffer for the trust problem, but handing your entire digital life to an AI is something most people will probably want to watch for a while longer.
