Anthropic is late to the party, but as of today the company has a personal agent to match the likes of Meta Muse and OpenAI Dots. As part of a new "research" preview, the company on Wednesday announced Claude Duet. "It comes to you with what needs your attention, completes tasks you ask of it, keeps working even when you step away, and checks with you before it acts on your behalf," Anthropic says of Duet. For now, you'll need to join a waitlist that's only open to Claude subscribers in the US to try the new tool.
