Claude Duet for Android

Claude Duet for Android Overview

Claude Duet for Android is a proactive AI agent application from Anthropic designed to help users organize information, automate business tasks, and manage work across connected applications. Powered by Claude Opus 5.5, the assistant can independently monitor accounts, prepare daily briefings, perform research, draft communications, and complete multi-step projects. Claude Duet differs from conventional AI chatbots by proactively notifying users when important information requires attention instead of waiting for every interaction to be initiated manually. The application operates through a cloud-based virtual computer, allowing tasks to continue even when the Android device is locked or the application is closed. Claude Duet is currently offered as a research preview to eligible US Claude Pro and Max subscribers through a waitlist.

AI assistant highlights

• Receive proactive daily summaries of important emails, appointments, and outstanding responsibilities.
• Delegate administrative tasks, research projects, financial analysis, and document preparation using natural-language instructions.
• Connect with more than 6,000 supported applications, services, and plugins.
• Send text or voice messages to Claude Duet through a persistent conversation interface.
• Automate workflows involving email, calendars, CRM systems, accounting software, and business applications.
• Maintain control over sensitive operations through approval requests and configurable application permissions.

Built for proactive productivity

Claude Duet helps users stay informed about important developments without continuously checking multiple applications. The assistant periodically reviews connected accounts, identifies messages or tasks that may need attention, and prepares concise updates. Users can receive a morning briefing highlighting relevant emails, upcoming meetings, and outstanding decisions. The system can also begin preparing draft responses or other supporting materials before the user requests them.

Cloud-based task execution

Claude Duet uses a dedicated virtual computer with a browser to perform tasks across supported applications. Users can request activities such as researching a company, preparing a sales forecast, organizing information, or creating a business dashboard. The assistant determines which connected tools to use and carries out supported steps autonomously. Because execution takes place in the cloud, work can continue independently of the Android application.

Connected applications and business workflows

Claude Duet integrates with supported services including Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive, Slack, HubSpot, QuickBooks, Stripe, Shopify, and Docusign. These connections allow the assistant to retrieve relevant business information and prepare actions across multiple systems. For example, it can identify unpaid invoices, draft follow-up messages, prepare payroll information, or organize customer communications. Users must authorize application connections, and certain actions require explicit approval before completion.

Memory, personalization, and conversations

Claude Duet carries over existing Claude memory, skills, and application connections, reducing the need for extensive setup. The Android application supports persistent conversations that allow users to return to earlier discussions and continue ongoing projects. Separate conversation channels can help organize different topics while sharing relevant memory. Users can also customize which information Claude Duet monitors and how frequently it provides updates.

Privacy and safety features

Claude Duet includes safeguards intended to protect sensitive information and prevent unauthorized actions. The assistant requests approval before sending messages, completing purchases, signing documents, or deleting information. Authentication credentials are handled separately from the AI model, and Anthropic applies protections against malicious instructions embedded in external content. Users can disconnect applications and review access permissions through their Claude account settings.

Pricing and availability

Claude Duet for Android is available as a standalone application through Anthropic's invitation-based research preview. Access currently requires a US Claude Pro or Max subscription and an invitation from the waitlist. The application is included with eligible subscriptions at no additional research-preview charge, although all activity counts toward the user's existing Claude usage limits. Background monitoring and complex projects can consume additional usage. Team and Enterprise accounts are not currently eligible.
