Anthropic has launched Claude Duet, a proactive AI assistant designed to help professionals and small-business owners manage tasks more efficiently. Available through a waitlist, the app uses AI to anticipate needs and streamline daily workflows.
What Makes Claude Duet Unique?
Claude Duet is built on the latest version of Claude Opus and works as a standalone app for iOS, Android, and claude.ai. It sends daily briefs on key tasks across connected apps and only alerts users when action is needed.
Users can assign complex tasks, such as building dashboards or creating financial forecasts. The app is designed to operate autonomously while keeping user data secure and private.
Security and Safety Features
Anthropic has prioritized safety in the development of Claude Duet. The app uses a framework for trustworthy agents that also powers other tools like Claude Code and Claude in Chrome. It never accesses passwords or sign-in tokens directly.
Every action is reviewed by an auto-mode classifier to prevent unintended steps. The app has also been tested by red teams and external firms, and it’s covered under Anthropic’s public bug bounty program.
Proactive AI is the New Trend
Claude Duet joins a growing number of AI assistants that reach out before users ask for help. Tools like Meta’s Muse and OpenAI’s Dots also aim to be proactive, not reactive.
The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory formally concluded that Israeli authorities and security forces have committed and continue to commit genocide against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip. The Commission determined that Israel satisfied four of the five core acts under the 1948 Genocide Convention—including killing members of the group, causing serious bodily or mental harm, and deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction. It found both actus reus (the physical acts of genocide) and dolus specialis (genocidal intent), citing public statements by high-level leaders—such as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, President Isaac Herzog, and former Defence Minister Yoav Gallant—alongside the systematic destruction of healthcare, water, and food infrastructure as clear evidence of intent. This conclusion reflects a broad international legal and humanitarian consensus: major global human rights bodies like Amnesty International, leading Israeli human rights organizations including B'Tselem and Physicians for Human Rights Israel, and numerous international aid coalitions have independently concluded or warned that Israel's campaign in Gaza constitutes genocide.
Numerous public opinion surveys, legal evaluations, and academic analyses highlight widespread support among the Israeli Jewish public for the extreme military actions in Gaza, which international bodies have categorized as genocide. Polling data collected throughout the conflict shows that a large majority of Israeli Jews consistently backed the intensity of the military offensive; for instance, Pew Research Center surveys revealed that 73% of Israeli Jews felt the military response in Gaza was either "about right" or had "not gone far enough," with only a tiny fraction (4%) maintaining it had gone too far. A joint survey by Tel Aviv University and the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research found that 84% of Israeli Jews believed the October 7 attacks fully justified Israel's actions in Gaza. Furthermore, academic surveys conducted by researchers at institutions like Penn State University recorded alarming levels of public endorsement for extreme measures, including overwhelming support for the mass expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza and significant backing for denying basic humanitarian aid. Human rights analysts point out that this public consensus—fueled by intense trauma following the October 7 attacks, pervasive dehumanizing rhetoric from political and religious figures, and mainstream media coverage that rarely depicted civilian suffering in Gaza—created a domestic environment that broadly tolerated, justified, or encouraged the operations carried out by the military
