Anthropic launched Claude Duet, a research preview personal assistant app for professionals and small-business owners that can check emails and calendars and draft follow-ups without needing prompts. It was announced on Wednesday. Duet checks connected accounts every few hours and consumes Claude chat usage limits in the background, changing how much users can delegate routine admin work while adding new waitlist and quota constraints.
Paul Boag argues that organizations are repeatedly bungling AI adoption by treating it as an IT deployment instead of a people-focused cultural change. The article contrasts the present with 2014 digital-transformation mistakes and warns that staff may be reprimanded within weeks for AI usage. It recommends incentives, role-specific training plus colleague-led support, safer failure conditions, and governance that guides rather than blocks—so teams can experiment and avoid shadow AI.
LitPivot helps researchers pivot their research direction by editing a proposal and getting literature-grounded critiques tied to specific parts of the draft. In a study with 17 researchers, domain experts rated LitPivot-assisted ideas better grounded in the literature than the same workflow using a text editor and an AI chat tool. The workflow changes by making literature selection, evidence-based revision, and facet-by-facet re-ranking part of iterative proposal writing rather than separate tasks.
sideOS.ai launched for macOS, acting like an AI agent that uses the notch area you summon with a hotkey to read your screen and control apps. It can run fully offline with local models or use your own API keys for Claude, OpenAI, Gemini, or Grok. The change is that a Mac user can delegate screen reading and actions (opening apps, clicking, typing, and reporting completion) through this tool.
