Known limitations
- Research preview is initially limited to users in the United States on Pro or Max plans and requires a waitlist
- Background checks and larger tasks consume the same usage limits as the rest of Claude
- The early version may misread conversation context or urgency, is weaker for personal errands, and cannot yet show its browser
- Claude Duet is a separate app from the main Claude app and currently depends on the connected Claude account context
