Anthropic Opens Claude Duet Research Preview: An Agentic App That Can Proactively Execute Tasks

Anthropic has opened the Claude Duet research preview, an agentic app built on Claude Opus 5.5 that can proactively advance tasks. It is now available on iOS, Android, and claude.ai for Pro and Max users in the United States, who must join a waitlist. Every morning it pushes a cross-app highlights briefing, and it can continuously execute tasks in the background; it requires user approval before sending messages, making payments, signing documents, or deleting, and securities trading and transfers between accounts are not permitted even with approval. Claude Duet can invoke more than 6,000 connectors and plugins in the Claude Marketplace, and it follows the credential-handling approach of Claude Managed Agents, never directly touching users' passwords or login tokens.

Google Launches Connected Apps Platform, Letting Developers Integrate with Search and Gemini Through a Unified Interface

Google has released the preview version of the Connected Apps Platform, where developers can build and manage Connected Apps for Search and Gemini applications on the same platform. Developers complete integration through a cloud-hosted MCP server or Android MCP combined with AppFunctions APIs, then use the Google Connected Console to register, test, and submit, and choose to launch on Search, Gemini, or both; after launch, they can view traffic, latency, and error rates. Google says Search and Gemini already have more than 50 Connected Apps, with integrations from Adobe, Experian, Localiza, and Peloton already live on Gemini and set to arrive in Search in the coming weeks, while Calm's integration will also launch on both.

Google and XREAL Launch the First Android XR Wired Glasses, XREAL AURA

Google and XREAL have launched the XREAL AURA, the first wired XR glasses powered by Android XR. Orders open today in the United States, Canada, and South Korea, with sales in Japan starting November 2, at a starting price of $1,099. The glasses weigh less than 95 grams, use transparent lenses and a 70-degree field of view to project apps into the user's field of view, and offload heavy computing to a portable computing puck connected by cable; the puck is powered by the debut Qualcomm Snapdragon Reality Elite platform. Users can open multiple apps at once and pair them with a Bluetooth keyboard and mouse, or connect a laptop screen as a window via USB-C wired mirroring, and Gemini can provide assistance based on the content in the field of view and on the screen.

Anthropic Launches Legal Work Artifacts Library for Claude for Legal

Anthropic has launched directly usable legal artifacts for Claude for Legal; teams can adapt them with their own data and connectors and share them across departments. The legal gallery covers tasks such as contract review, regulatory change tracking, and business legal requests; each artifact comes with examples, and all outputs include source links. Since launching in May, more than 60 legal connectors have been added, including Bloomberg Law, Filevine, Ivo, Legora, and Patlytics.

Anthropic releases Claude Duet research preview and discloses its safety, privacy, and security design

Anthropic releases the research preview of Claude Duet, a proactive agent that runs continuously on a cloud computer, can read the inbox, draft replies, book appointments, and execute routines after you leave. Before sending sensitive messages, making payments, or deleting content, it displays the action, target, and content and waits for approval; operations such as securities trading and transfers between accounts are not permitted even with approval. A newly added safety classifier divides information into two levels: never share and share with consent; passwords, browser cookies, and login tokens do not pass through the model, and the browser runs in a separate virtual machine.

Claude Enterprise merges chat and Cowork into a unified experience

Anthropic announced that the Claude Enterprise plan officially launches a unified Claude experience, merging chat and Cowork across web, desktop, and mobile, so teams can ask questions or deliver complete projects within the same conversation. Agent tasks run in Anthropic-hosted cloud environments, with each session using a separate virtual machine, network egress disabled by default, and connector credentials stored outside the sandbox. Administrators can control access by role and use the new Efficient mode to limit the experience to Sonnet and Haiku models, while also supporting spending limits at the organization, group, and member levels.

Claude Platform now generally available on Google Cloud, operated by Anthropic

Claude Models on Google Cloud (Anthropic-hosted) is now generally available. Google Cloud customers can use the full Claude Platform capabilities with their existing IAM credentials, billing, and committed use discounts, and new features and betas launch on the same day as the native Claude Platform. This version supports Claude Managed Agents (beta), code execution, computer use, Agent skills, MCP connector, Prompt caching, and other capabilities, and provides Claude Console; Claude Fable 5.1, Opus 5.5, Sonnet 5.5, and Haiku 5.5 are already available, and Claude Opus 5.5's Fast Mode delivers up to 2.5x faster output speed, with input and output pricing at $8 and $40 per million tokens. Anthropic operates this service as the data processor and currently offers US and global endpoints; customers who require Google as the data processor or have regional data residency requirements can still choose the Google-hosted version.

Google launches a small business hub and brand and finance tools for Gemini

Google has launched a business landing page for Gemini aimed at small business owners, where they can manage branding, finances, and customer insights, and connect Google Business Profile, Google Ads, Google Workspace, as well as third-party apps such as Adobe, Canva, Dropbox, Shopify, Wix, Zoho, and Xero. Users can define their brand style by uploading their website, brand kit, fonts, or color palettes, and with Nano Banana 2.1 generate marketing visuals with a consistent style; Gemini can also turn spreadsheets, receipts, and purchase records into financial charts and interactive models. These features will roll out gradually worldwide to all Gemini app users over the coming days.
