What happened?
Anthropic previewed Claude Duet: an agent that watches your connected apps, sends a morning brief and asks before doing anything sensitive. Meta’s Muse and OpenAI’s Dots chase the same idea.
The next shift in AI isn’t smarter chat. It’s agents that don’t wait for you.
Why does it matter?
Chatbots answer when asked; these agents act on their own and only check in for approval. That shifts the key question from how smart the model is to how much access you are willing to give it. All three companies are betting people will say yes.
What should you watch next?
→ Which apps these agents can access, and what they ask before acting.
→ Whether people actually grant that access.
Would you let one in?
