What Claude Duet can do
Morning brief
Duet briefs you every morning, drafts next steps, then goes quiet until something needs you.
Example: Each morning, list the emails that need a reply and draft the replies.
One thread with your Claude
Your memory, skills and apps from the Claude app are there from the first message, all in one thread, and Duet remembers what you said before.
Example: Keep using the rules you gave me for customer enquiries.
Connectors and finished work
Duet works on its own computer in the cloud with the apps you connect, such as Gmail, Google Calendar, Google Drive and Slack, and returns finished work like a doc, sheet or deck for your review.
Example: Check tomorrow's meetings and find the related email threads.
Get started with Claude Duet
- Check that you qualify: a Claude Pro or Max subscription in the US. Team and Enterprise plans are not included yet.
- Join the waitlist at claude.com/duet. Once you have access, open the Duet app on iOS or Android, or open Duet on the web at claude.ai.
- In Claude, open Customize, then Connectors, select + next to Connectors and connect only the apps your task needs, such as Gmail.
- Pick a recipe below, copy its setup prompt and send it in your Duet thread. Duet should confirm the rules before it reads anything.
- Check the next morning brief for the recipe's result, and deny any approval request the recipe does not need.
What to check before you trust it
- Start read-only: ask for lists and draft text in the thread before you let Duet change anything.
- Test with the recipe's fictional sample before you rely on real accounts.
- Duet asks before sensitive operations such as sending messages or paying. Deny any approval the task does not need.
- Duet may misread a thread or miscalibrate what's urgent, and it can miss something that arrives between check-ins.
- Its background checks count toward your plan's usage limits during the research preview.
We have not run these setups ourselves. Recipes are written from public Claude Duet documentation, and their examples are illustrative.
