  "account": "Anthropic has unveiled a new AI agent app called Claude Duet, designed to assist busy professionals in managing their work across numerous connected apps. The iOS and Android app is currently available as a research preview for Claude users on Pro and Max plans in the United States through a waitlist. While not yet accessible to Claude subscribers on Team and Research plans, Anthropic intends to make it available to those plans at a later date.\n\nClaude Duet operates as an AI agent powered by Claude Opus 5.5 and aims to streamline professionals' daily operations. It has access to all the memory, skills, and connectors previously set up in the user's Claude account, allowing it to continue working on tasks even after the app has been closed. Users can interact with Claude Duet through typing or voice messages.\n\nThe app boasts a vast library of 6,000+ connectors and plugins, including Gmail, Slack, Intuit QuickBooks, Stripe, LinkedIn, DocuSign, and more. It can perform tasks such as sending daily briefs, prioritizing urgent assignments, updating task progress, managing emails and calendar events, and handling sensitive information. Claude Duet automatically rejects highly sensitive data, like credit card numbers and government IDs, and seeks approval before performing critical actions like making payments.\n\nAt present, Claude Duet has a few limitations. Users cannot choose the model it runs on, observe its work in a browser, or take control of the browser. Additionally, the Microsoft 365 connector is not yet available for use. For a comprehensive list of its limitations, users can refer to Anthropic's official blog post. Overall, Claude Duet has the potential to become a significant player in the AI agent market, addressing the needs of professionals seeking an efficient digital assistant.",
