Anthropic has introduced Claude Duet, its first consumer-facing AI agent designed to proactively manage tasks like email and shopping on your phone. This move puts it in direct competition with Meta's Muse agent, which already has over 10 million users. Unlike chatbots, Claude Duet acts without waiting for commands, raising issues of trust and permissions, where Anthropic's safety reputation may provide an advantage. Meta's vast user base and free access model give it a strong lead, but Anthropic aims to attract users through subscription services. The competition highlights challenges around privacy, cost, and revenue models as AI agents become central to consumer technology.
