Anthropic🤖 agent launch★ Top story

Anthropic opens Claude Duet, a proactive agent that comes to you

For you: Claude Duet sends you a morning brief from your connected apps, keeps an eye on them through the day, works on tasks while you're away, and asks before it does anything big like paying or deleting. It's a waitlist research preview for US Pro and Max subscribers, on iOS, Android and claude.ai, and Anthropic says it can still misjudge what's urgent.

💸 Run your bots for less

Same bot. A fraction of the bill.

Every time a bot runs, an AI service bills you, or eats into your plan's limits. Pick the right model, cache and batch, and the same job can cost a small fraction as much. Prices come only from official pages.
