Claude Duet's background checks use the subscriber's existing allowance, not unlimited capacity

A proactive assistant tries to notice work before you ask, rather than wait at an empty chat box. Anthropic's new Claude Duet preview brings that idea into connected business apps.

What happenedVentureBeat reports Anthropic's Duet research preview for U.S. Pro/Max subscribers via a waitlist. It proposes briefings and work across connected apps, including invoice follow-up drafts.

Why it mattersThe trade-off is attention versus supervision: background checks consume the existing Claude allowance and happen every few hours, not continuously. The report describes approval safeguards but supplies no head-to-head completion benchmark.
