Anthropic Unveils Claude Duet, a Proactive AI Agent with Offline Capabilities

Anthropic launched Claude Duet, an AI agent built on Claude Opus 5.5 that connects to thousands of services and works offline, aiming to compete with offerings from xAI, Meta, and OpenAI.

Anthropic has introduced Claude Duet, a new proactive AI agent powered by its Claude Opus 5.5 model. According to The Decoder, this AI can connect to over 6,000 services, including popular platforms like Gmail, Slack, and Stripe, enabling it to perform various tasks autonomously, even when the user is offline.

The Decoder also noted that Claude Duet prioritizes user security by requesting approval before executing sensitive actions such as payments. This move positions Anthropic as a competitive player in the AI space, responding directly to similar offerings from companies like xAI, Meta, and OpenAI.

For Japanese markets, where automation and AI integration in finance and communication platforms are rapidly advancing, Claude Duet's ability to operate offline and manage multiple services could offer valuable efficiencies for FX, crypto, and equity traders.
