Claude Duet is live in research preview. Unlike a chatbot, it initiates: a morning briefing, proactive pings only when something genuinely needs a human, and continues working after you close the laptop.
A research preview user set up Claude Duet to monitor Slack, email, and calendar, surfacing only what actually needs attention, sometimes with a draft doc or design already prepared. The appeal is staying heads-down without manually polling every inbox.
The waitlist and learn-more page for Claude Duet are now open, following the research preview announcement of the proactive agent app.
Claude Duet asks for user approval before taking actions on their behalf, and at least one early user finds themselves approving most of the time. The waitlist is open.
A user flagged several UX issues with the new sections feature: adding a section from an existing group sorts incorrectly, dragging is broken, section names appear smaller and fainter than chat names, chats aren't indented under sections, and threaded chats can't be folded. A team member confirmed the feedback was passed along.
An Anthropic team member describes Claude Duet as their daily driver for all non-code work, endorsing the research preview as the proactive agent announcement goes public.
