Summary
Anthropic said it is testing Duet, a new AI agent that joins Meta’s Muse and OpenAI’s dots in a fast-forming market for assistants that act on users’ behalf.
Unlike chatbots that mainly answer questions, these agents use a computer and web browser to carry out multi-step tasks such as booking tables, sending emails and applying for jobs.
The push reflects a shift from earlier virtual assistants from Amazon, Apple and Google, whose slow, clunky performance kept consumers from relying on them for everyday tasks.
Meta’s Muse, launched last month, has become the most-downloaded phone app, while OpenAI has positioned dots as a premium rival priced at $100 a month.
