Anthropic has announced Claude Duet, a new artificial intelligence agent aimed at professionals and small business owners. Reported by The Verge, the release positions Claude Duet to compete directly with Meta’s Muse and OpenAI‘s Dots. The agent is currently launching as a research preview and is accessible via a standalone mobile application on iOS and Android platforms, as well as through the web interface for Claude.
Expanding Into Autonomous Agents
The launch marks Anthropic’s entry into the competitive market for productivity-focused AI agents. As major technology companies race to deploy software capable of executing complex workflows independently, Anthropic is targeting everyday professional users and smaller businesses. This sector has seen increasing activity as firms seek to move beyond simple chat interfaces toward systems that can act on behalf of the user.
Unknown Capabilities and Future Availability
Despite the announcement, key details regarding the product’s full feature set remain undisclosed. The announcement did not specify pricing structures, technical specifications, or a timeline for a wider public release beyond the initial research preview phase. Users and industry observers will need to watch for future updates from Anthropic to determine how Claude Duet compares functionally to rival offerings from OpenAI and Meta.
Claude Duet is available now for testing through its newly launched mobile applications and web platform.
