Join the Claude Duet Waitlist and Set It Up on Day One
Claude Duet is Anthropic's new proactive agent app: a morning brief, work that continues while you're away, and a check with you before it acts. Who qualifies, how to join the waitlist, what it can do, the catch, and a day-one checklist
On October 21, 2026, Anthropic opened a research preview of Claude Duet, a new app where Claude works as a proactive agent. It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask for, keeps working while you're away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf. It is powered by Claude Opus 5.5.
Here's who can get it, how to join the waitlist, what it does, the catch, and what to set up first.
What it does
- A morning brief each day on the most important items across your connected apps.
- Keeps tabs on those apps and messages you only when something needs you.
- Tasks you hand off: scheduling meetings, dashboards, financial or sales forecasts, prototypes and web apps, finding unpaid invoices and drafting reminders, preparing payroll for review, getting contracts ready.
- Uses your Claude account: memory, skills and connectors (Anthropic's page says more than 6,000 connectors and plugins).
