Anthropic ouvre Claude Duet, agent Opus 5.5 pour Pro et Max US
TL;DR
- Claude Duet runs on Opus 5.5 in Anthropic's cloud VM, staying active after users close the app on any device.
- Approval gates block sending messages, making payments, signing documents, or deleting content; these restrictions are hardcoded and cannot be overridden.
- TechCrunch positions Duet for professionals and small businesses, explicitly separating it from consumer personal agents like Instinct.
Anthropic a ouvert en research preview Claude Duet, une app où Claude s'offre, selon la fiche produit, comme « a proactive agent that understands what needs your attention » et qui « waits for your ok when it matters ». L'accès passe par liste d'attente et reste réservé aux abonnés Pro et Max aux États-Unis, Team et Enterprise n'étant pas encore inclus.
Le produit tourne sur Opus 5.5 et se branche à « more than 6,000 connectors and plugins », parmi lesquels Stripe, Shopify, Gmail, Slack et Google Calendar. Un « Morning Brief » envoie quotidiennement un debrief qui « drafts next steps, then goes quiet until something needs you ». Côté exécution, promet la fiche, « Send a message and it sets up a meeting or builds a dashboard, then shares when it's done ».
La seconde promesse porte sur les garde-fous. Anthropic écrit que « Claude Duet asks you before sensitive operations like sending messages or paying », et place « Approvals, logins, and safety checks » dans « your own cloud computer, so sensitive details stay private ».
Le ton assume l'inconfort du statut preview: Duet « may misread a thread or miscalibrate what's urgent, and it can miss something that arrives between checking in with you ». Sur X, le compte officiel résume l'ambition en une phrase: l'agent « keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf ».
