EDITORIAL TAKEAWAY
If invited, start with a narrow briefing task. Check its sources and requested app permissions before relying on the result.
Before you try it
- Announced October 21. Joining the waitlist does not guarantee immediate access. The preview supports iOS, Android and claude.ai.
- Duet shares your Claude plan’s usage limits. Background checks also consume that allowance.
- Anthropic says messages, payments, signatures and deletions require approval. This early preview can misunderstand context or urgency; review its work.
A small next step
Our suggested way to explore the change.
- Check the current waitlist and eligibility details in the announcement.
- If admitted, choose one app connection and request a short brief on a specific topic.
- Compare the brief with the original items and adjust notification frequency if needed.
