Professionals and small business owners handing briefs, research and ongoing work to Opus 5.5
Opus 5.5 prepares a morning brief and checks connected apps every few hours. You can adjust what it reports and how often. Checks count toward your plan limits.
Its own cloud computer and browser keep working when your phone or laptop is off. It carries over Claude memory, skills and connected apps in one ongoing thread.
It prepares work independently, then waits for approval before sending messages, paying, signing documents or deleting. Some actions, such as trading securities and moving money between accounts, stay off-limits.

Anthropic documents Link and Shop Pay. Duet confirms the item, and Link asks you to approve spending. These are provider capabilities; this guide does not connect accounts or make purchases.
Anthropic says Duet does not directly see passwords or sign-in tokens. Its message checks are designed to prevent sensitive-data leaks. These safeguards are provider claims, not a guarantee or our security assessment.
Saved 1Password logins and a richer Shopify visual editor are announced for later. No release date is given.
Urgency judgments and thread reading can be wrong. Checks are periodic, personal errands are less strong, and the browser cannot yet be shown. Unknown: exact task quotas, supported languages and international rollout.
Duet is a separate research-preview app. Claude chat/Cowork and Claude Code remain distinct catalog entries. No access, reliability or signup test was performed.
Prices in USD before tax. Check the billing period; local prices, taxes and offers can differ.
