Anthropic has introduced Claude Duet, a new AI agent that aims to compete with Meta's Muse and OpenAI's Dots. The release of Claude Duet comes as Anthropic looks to target small business owners and professionals seeking assistance with various tasks, including planning, meetings, and building web applications. The AI agent is powered by the Claude Opus 5.5 model, and to accomplish these tasks, Claude Duet utilizes a virtual machine with a built-in web browser, according to The Verge.
In a move that echoes Anthropic's previous challenge to Microsoft, the firm has introduced Claude Docs and Slides, editing tools integrated into the Claude interface. These tools are designed to compete with Microsoft Word and PowerPoint. Claude Duet is currently available as a standalone app for iOS and Android devices, as well as a web application at claude.ai.
However, it is currently only accessible as a research preview to US customers subscribed to the Pro or Max plans. Despite this limitation, Anthropic has plans to expand the availability of Claude Duet to a wider user base in the future.
