Anthropic takes on Muse with Claude Duet, its new AI agent
Anthropic has launched Claude Duet, an AI agent designed to assist professionals with administrative tasks, scheduling, and complex workflows. The tool is currently in a research preview phase for Pro and Max subscribers in the US.
Why it matters
The release marks a shift toward 'agentic' AI that can perform multi-step tasks across different applications, signaling increased competition in the enterprise AI productivity market.
Anthropic just announced an AI agent competitor to Meta’s Muse and OpenAI’s Dots: Claude Duet. The new agent, designed for professionals and small business owners, is launching as a “research preview,” according to Anthropic, and it’s available as a standalone app on iOS and Android and through Claude on the web.
The AI agent is built around Claude Opus 5.5. Here’s Anthropic’s description of what it can do:
> Each morning, it sends you a short brief on the most important items across your connected apps. Throughout the day, it keeps tabs on those apps and messages you only when something needs your attention. You can also hand it tasks of all shapes—from simple administrative tasks of scheduling meetings to more complex ones, such as building dashboards with dozens of tools, creating financial or sales forecasts, prototyping, and building web apps.
