Claude Duet

Claude Duet is Anthropic’s proactive AI assistant built for professionals, teams, and enterprises who want to automate and manage daily workflows across thousands of connected apps. Its main differentiator is the Morning Briefings feature, which provides personalized summaries of tasks and priorities by analyzing your emails and calendars, giving you a clear overview to start each day.

Task Management is a core strength, allowing Claude Duet to handle everything from routine follow-ups to complex, multi-step projects. The assistant continues working on your behalf and only requests your approval for consequential actions, such as payments or sensitive communications. With integration across more than 6,000 apps—including Gmail, Slack, QuickBooks, Stripe, LinkedIn, and DocuSign—it serves as a central hub for your workflow.

Claude Duet uses your existing Claude memory, skills, and connectors, ensuring continuity and efficient task execution across devices. Its cross-platform availability on iOS, Android, and the web means you can access your assistant wherever you work, adapting to your preferred environment.

Safety and Privacy are emphasized throughout Claude Duet’s design. The assistant blocks highly sensitive data and always requires explicit user approval for actions with significant impact, such as making payments or sending confidential documents. This approach ensures you maintain control while benefiting from automation.

In October 2026, Anthropic launched the Claude Duet Research Preview for Pro and Max subscribers in the US, expanding proactive AI capabilities and integration options. Earlier updates in April 2026 added Adobe Creative Cloud integration, and in May 2026, a suite of legal-focused tools was introduced, including over 20 MCP connectors and 12 plugins to support legal workflows.

Compared to other AI assistants, Claude Duet stands out for its proactive task management, extensive integration ecosystem, and strong privacy controls. While it is currently limited to US Pro and Max subscribers and some integrations like Microsoft 365 are not yet available, it offers a comprehensive solution for users seeking an AI that anticipates and manages tasks across their digital workspace.
