Anthropic Launches Claude Duet App To Compete In AI Agent Market
· Technology · TechCrunch
Anthropic released Claude Duet, a new AI agent app available on iOS, Android, and web, designed for professionals and small businesses to automate and manage tasks. The app is built on the Claude Opus 5.5 model and can connect to over 6,000 connectors and plugins via the Claude Marketplace. Duet can generate daily briefings, create dashboards, and suggest actions based on user data, while operating in a virtual machine to complete tasks in the background. It can perform online purchases via Stripe Link and Shopify Shop Pay, but requires user approval for sensitive actions like payments and will decline requests for credit card numbers or government ID by default. Users must join a waitlist to access the research preview.
Why it matters
Claude Duet directly challenges personal AI assistants like Meta's Muse by targeting professionals and small businesses needing task automation and dashboard creation, differentiating itself from consumer-focused rivals. Its integration with 6,000+ plugins and payment capabilities via Stripe and Shopify position Anthropic in the growing enterprise AI agent market.
