Briefings
Anthropic launched a new AI assistant designed to proactively manage tasks across connected applications, maintain email and calendar records, and persist work sessions even when the target app is closed. This represents a significant shift from previous AI assistants that required active user engagement to initiate tasks. The system appears to function as a persistent agent capable of bridging multiple apps without constant interaction. No specific model name or developer attribution is provided in the source text.
