Anthropic在Grok瓶装上,Meta的Muse,OpenAI的点装上始终在agent"Claude Dut".
关键点
- Anthropic拥有发布预览"Claude Dut",是AI agent在背景中为用户处理任务的应用程序。
- 该应用程序在云计算机上运行,并与Gmail,Slack,Stripe等外部服务连接。 除其他外,它可以安排会议或编制账单。
- 系统总是在支付或发送信息等行动之前征求用户同意。 银行转账被完全冻结。
Anthropic已经用Claude Dut的研究预览解答了Grok Bot,Meta的Muse,以及OpenAI的Dots. 该独立应用程序运行Claude作为主动的agent,在用户不在时继续工作,在采取敏感步骤前请求批准。
Anthropic将Claude Dutiet投给"盘子上比追踪多"的专业人士和小企业主。 该应用程序运行于iOS,Android,以及claude.ai的网络,并基于Claude Opus 5.5. Pro和Max在美国的订阅者可以通过一个等待列表获得访问权限。 团队和企业计划尚未包含在内。
Anthropic 称与普通Claude应用的大区别是事物的流向。 在Claudeapp中,用户打开聊天。 二重奏是来找他们的每天早上,agent都会从连接的应用程序中发送一份最重要的项目的简短摘要。 之后,它只在需要注意的时候才伸展出来。 它从用户现有的Claude账户中牵引内存,技能和应用连接。
用户通过文本或语音消息在一个进行中线程中分配任务。 Anthropic表示,这涵盖了从排程到仪表板以及财务预测到原型和网络应用的所有内容。 agent在虚拟机上工作,它自己的云计算机带有浏览器,因此用户的笔记本电脑或手机不需要继续使用。
Dut通过来自Claude Marketplace的6000多个连接器和插件连接到Gmail,Slack,Stripe,Docusign,以及Shopify等服务。 这样它就可以追踪未付发票和付款催复通知的草稿,或者准备工资单。 对于购买,它使用Stripe Link与虚拟卡,因此用户的真实卡号从未共享。
近几个月来,几个竞争者拥有类似发布的产品。 SpaceXAI于8月打开了Grok Bot β. 9月,Meta跟随穆塞,OpenAI带着它的点。 他们都投注在个人的agents上,他们独立处理任务并主动行动。
用户对任何有风险的事情都保留最后的发言权
Anthropic Q 二重奏只能靠自己阅读,起草和准备。 在它发出消息,付款,签署文件,或删除任何内容之前,它完全按照它的计划做,等待用户的批准。 交易证券和在账户之间移动资金,即使得到批准,也都不在议席上。
技术保障又增加了一层。 公司称 agent从未直接看到密码或登录符,因为证书处理遵循Claude管理Agents的设计。 为了抵挡隐藏指令,称为提示词注入,Anthropic使用其研究浏览器使用的防御。 红队和一家外部公司也进行了攻击测试,以探测Dute的弱点。
Anthropic还新建了Dut的分类器。 这个筛选系统在系统中有特别的安全指示,可以迅速检查每一个消息是否泄露敏感数据。 他们一起是为了拒绝分享信用卡号码或身份证细节的请求。 健康或个人财务信息只有在用户明确称时才能通过。
Anthropic承认Dut仍然想念一些东西
Anthropic承认,早期的版本会错误读取一条消息线索,误判紧急情况,并错过两个检查之间到达的东西。 由于它的核心功能是为工作而建造的,因此在预约票等个人差事上也比较弱。
Dutit每几个小时只检查一次连接的账户,而Anthropic 称则会降为使用。 持续检查会通过订阅限制燃烧得更快。 Dute与其他Claude产品分享这些限制,背景调查也算在他们身上。
Anthropic计划当agent应该伸手时使用测试器反馈来调谐。 Dut如何与 Claude app 相适应仍然是一个有待解决的问题。 目前,它单独运行,早期用户的经验将塑造两者如何合作。

Anthropic takes on Grok Bot, Meta's Muse, and OpenAI's Dots with its always-on agent "Claude Duet"
Key Points
- Anthropic has released a preview of "Claude Duet," an app where an AI agent handles tasks for the user in the background.
- The app runs on cloud computers and connects to outside services like Gmail, Slack, and Stripe. It can schedule meetings or prepare billing, among other things.
- The system always asks for the user's approval before actions like payments or sending messages. Bank transfers are blocked entirely.
Anthropic has answered Grok Bot, Meta's Muse, and OpenAI's Dots with a research preview of Claude Duet. The standalone app runs Claude as a proactive agent that keeps working on tasks while the user is away and asks for approval before taking sensitive steps.
Anthropic is pitching Claude Duet to professionals and small business owners who have "more on their plates than they can track." The app runs on iOS, Android, and the web at claude.ai and is built on Claude Opus 5.5. Pro and Max subscribers in the US can get access through a waitlist. Team and Enterprise plans aren't included yet.
Anthropic says the big difference from the regular Claude app is which way things flow. In the Claude app, users open a chat. Duet comes to them instead. Every morning, the agent sends a short summary of the most important items from connected apps. After that, it only reaches out when something needs attention. It pulls memory, skills, and app connections from the user's existing Claude account.
Users assign tasks by text or voice message in a single ongoing thread. According to Anthropic, that covers everything from scheduling to dashboards and financial forecasts to prototypes and web apps. The agent works on a virtual machine, its own cloud computer with a browser, so the user's laptop or phone doesn't need to stay on.
Duet connects to services like Gmail, Slack, Stripe, Docusign, and Shopify through more than 6,000 connectors and plugins from the Claude Marketplace. That lets it track down unpaid invoices and draft payment reminders, or get payroll ready. For purchases, it uses Stripe Link with a virtual card, so the user's real card number never gets shared.
Several competitors have launched similar products in recent months. SpaceXAI opened the Grok Bot beta in August. In September, Meta followed with Muse and OpenAI with its Dots. All of them are betting on personal agents that handle tasks independently and act on their own initiative.
Users keep the final say on anything risky
Anthropic says Duet can only read, draft, and prepare on its own. Before it sends a message, makes a payment, signs a document, or deletes anything, it shows exactly what it plans to do and waits for the user's approval. Trading securities and moving money between accounts are off the table, even with approval.
Technical safeguards add another layer. The company says the agent never sees passwords or login tokens directly, because credential handling follows the design of Claude Managed Agents. To fend off hidden instructions, known as prompt injections, Anthropic uses defenses from its research on browser use. Red teams and an outside firm also ran attack tests to probe Duet for weak spots.
Anthropic also built a new classifier for Duet. This screening system works with special safety instructions in the system prompt to check every message for leaking sensitive data. Together, they're meant to refuse requests to share credit card numbers or ID details. Health or personal finance information only gets through when the user explicitly says so.
Anthropic admits Duet still misses things
Anthropic concedes that the early version can misread a message thread, misjudge urgency, and miss things that arrive between two checks. It's also weaker at personal errands like booking tickets, since its core features are built for work.
Duet only checks connected accounts every few hours, and Anthropic says that comes down to usage. Constant checking would burn through subscription limits much faster. Duet shares those limits with other Claude products, and the background checks count against them too.
Anthropic plans to use tester feedback to tune when the agent should reach out. How Duet fits with the Claude app is still an open question. For now, it runs separately, and early users' experience will shape how the two work together.
