Zapier describes Claude Duet, an always-on Anthropic AI agent in research preview
Zapier published an article describing Claude Duet, an Anthropic AI agent in research preview that sends morning briefs, checks connected apps for helpful actions, and works on tasks in the background. According to the article, it asks for user approval before sending, paying, signing, or deleting anything.
Why it matters
Builders running online businesses may see an agent that proactively monitors connected apps and drafts or runs tasks, which changes how account access and approval workflows are designed. The article is a single hands-on account from an early-access reviewer, so capabilities are not independently confirmed.
Who should care
Ecommerce operators, solo founders, marketers, and anyone connecting business apps to AI agents
What you can do
Review which of your connected apps and permissions you would allow a background agent to access, and define approval rules for any send, payment, signing, or deletion actions.
