ANTHROPIC JOINS THE AI AGENT RACE WITH CLAUDE DUET

Summary from the TLDR newsletter

Anthropic's Claude Duet joins a fast-growing field of AI assistants that take actions and perform tasks on their own. Unlike OpenAI's dots and Meta's Muse, Anthropic's agent was built for work and is less capable at personal errands. It can connect to more than 6,000 outside apps and make purchases through Link, Stripe's digital wallet, and Shopify's Shop Pay. The agent shows users exactly what it plans to do before performing actions, and some actions, like trading stocks or moving money between accounts, are blocked even with user approval. The wait list to use the agent is now open to Anthropic's Pro and Max plan subscribers.
