Anthropic Claude Duet Links Claude Code: Check, Approve, and Steer Local or Cloud Sessions from Phone

On 2026-11-06, Anthropic Claude Duet co-creator and lead David Sutton (@davidsuttonca) and PM lead Karan Ahuja (@ahuja_karan) posted on X that Claude Duet now connects to Claude Code sessions: from a phone you can check what is running, approve changes, and send updates for sessions on your computer or in the cloud. Ahuja also notes Projects plus continuing Claude chats and memory. First-hand product-lead update, not an @AnthropicAI blog post; Duet remains a US Pro/Max/Ultra research-preview waitlist.

Accumulating over 40K likes and 4.7M views within hours, Claude Duet shifts the AI paradigm from passive query-response chatbots to a proactive autonomous partner: it surfaces what requires user attention, autonomously executes delegated long-horizon tasks, works uninterrupted in the background while users step away, and explicitly requests confirmation before executing high-impact actions on the user's behalf.

Anthropic opens Claude Duet research preview: a proactive personal agent app built on Opus 5.5, waitlist for US Pro and Max

On Oct 21, Anthropic opened a research preview of Claude Duet, a standalone app (iOS, Android and claude.ai) built around Claude Opus 5.5 that proactively surfaces what needs your attention, keeps working when you step away, and checks with you before acting on your behalf. It starts with a waitlist for US Pro and Max subscribers and shares the same usage limits as the rest of Claude.

Anthropic opens Claude Duet research preview: a proactive personal agent app built on Opus 5.5, waitlist for US Pro and Max

Key Takeaways

  • Positioning: a proactive agent that sends a morning brief and then messages you only when something needs you; it checks connected accounts every few hours
  • Model: designed around Claude Opus 5.5; carries over memory, skills and connected apps from your Claude account, with 6,000+ connectors and plugins per the product page
  • Execution: runs in its own virtual machine with a browser, so tasks continue with your laptop or phone off
  • Safety: credential handling follows the Managed Agents design so it never sees passwords; a new classifier blocks sharing card numbers and government IDs
  • Access: waitlist, US Pro and Max first, counted against existing plan limits
