Why it matters

For business owners and busy professionals on Claude Pro or Max, it moves Claude from a chat you open to an assistant that watches inbox and calendar, flags what needs a decision, and handles tasks like invoice reminders or decks in the background.

Highlights

Sends a morning brief, flags what needs you in your inbox and calendar, and drafts replies for you to approve.
Takes larger tasks by text or voice message, such as setting up meetings, building a dashboard, deck or financial model, finding unpaid invoices, or preparing payroll for review.
Uses your existing Claude memory, skills and connectors; Anthropic says it works with more than 6,000 connectors and plugins.
Asks before sensitive actions like sending messages or paying, and runs approvals, logins and safety checks in your own cloud computer.
Powered by Opus 5.5, according to the product page.

Taken from the project's own README, docs or launch page. Claims about speed or accuracy are the maker's unless stated otherwise.

Try it if: You run a small business from your phone and want a daily brief plus someone to draft the follow-ups.

Worth knowing: Research preview on a waitlist, US only, and not yet for Team or Enterprise plans. Anthropic notes it may misread a thread, misjudge urgency, or miss something that arrives between check-ins. It needs access to your connected email, calendar and business apps.
