Anthropic launched Claude Duet — an app that, according to The Decoder, is capable of performing tasks autonomously, including when the user is offline. It connects to Gmail, Slack and Stripe through more than 6 000 connectors.
For sensitive actions, including payments, the app requests user approval.
The Decoder also links the launch of Claude Duet to competition from similar products by xAI, Meta and OpenAI.

Why it matters
A likely consequence is increased competition around apps that perform work tasks without constant user involvement. The next observable signal will be broader access beyond the waitlist and the appearance of confirmed details about connectivity.
