  "summary": "Claude Duet is Anthropic’s AI agent designed for consumers, specifically targeting professionals and small business owners. According to The Verge, the tool is intended to use judgment to determine what requires a user's attention most, such as spotting scheduling conflicts or sending morning briefs. While it is more focused on work than Meta's Muse or OpenAI's Dots, it is considered more consumer-friendly than Claude Cowork or Claude Code.\n\nThe Verge reports that Duet is currently a research preview with access limited to Pro, Max, and Ultra subscribers in the US via a waitlist. The agent has its own app, which has been updated to support the iPhone Duo. During testing, Allison Johnson of The Verge noted that while the tool is user-friendly and useful, it can sometimes feel like a neurotic personal assistant that nags. Additionally, the product is noted for being eager to help users write about their experiences with it.",
