  2. 2.In the Duet interface, connect the apps you need (e.g. email and calendar) so the agent has access to your work data.

    Claude Duet runs on its own cloud computer and uses its own browser, so it doesn't need your device to work in the background.

  3. 3.Send the agent a message with instructions for proactive monitoring and morning briefings. Copy the prompt below and replace the placeholders with your details.

    The agent checks connected accounts every few hours to save your plan's usage limits.

    Prompt
    Every weekday morning, review my inbox and calendar. Send me a short brief of the 3 most important items that need my attention today. For simple emails from [clients or team], draft replies for me to review. Do not send, delete, or sign anything without my explicit approval.
    What this prompt doesThis English prompt sets up a daily morning brief and draft replies. Replace [clients or team] with whoever's emails you want processed (e.g. 'managers' or 'customers').
  4. 4.Set up notification frequency. Tell the agent how often you want to receive updates during the day, in addition to the morning brief.

    You can specify exactly what you want to be notified about, so the agent won't bother you with trivial things and will only reach out when your decision is needed.

    Prompt
    During the day, only notify me about urgent issues or if a drafted reply needs my approval. Check my accounts every few hours and summarize quiet threads.
    What this prompt doesThis English prompt limits notifications during the day to urgent issues and draft approval requests only.
  5. 5.Review the first morning brief or the agent's response. If a draft reply needs edits, mention it in the conversation thread and only then click Send.

    Carefully check the sources the agent references. If a source didn't load, treat the task as unverified, not completed.
