Introducing Claude Managed Agents: Revolutionizing Agent Deployment

Today marks the launch of Claude Managed Agents, a groundbreaking suite of composable APIs designed to streamline the development and deployment of cloud-hosted agents at scale. Traditionally, building agents required extensive time and resources to manage secure infrastructure, state management, and other operational complexities. With Managed Agents, this process is simplified, allowing developers to focus on enhancing user experience rather than infrastructure.

Managed Agents enables the rapid deployment of agents, reducing the time from prototype to production from months to mere days. It handles essential functions like sandboxed code execution, credential management, and end-to-end tracing, freeing developers from months of infrastructure work. By defining tasks, tools, and guardrails, developers can leverage Claude's infrastructure to run their agents efficiently.

The platform supports long-running sessions, multi-agent coordination, and trusted governance, ensuring secure and efficient operations. Managed Agents is specifically optimized for Claude models, enhancing agent outcomes with minimal effort. Internal testing has shown significant improvements in task success rates, particularly for complex problems.

Various teams have already harnessed the power of Managed Agents to accelerate their workflows. Notion, Rakuten, Asana, and others have integrated these agents to automate tasks across coding, productivity, finance, and legal domains, achieving deployment speeds up to 10 times faster than before.

Managed Agents also facilitates the creation of AI-native applications, enabling developers to deploy sophisticated systems with just a few lines of code. This innovation is set to drive a surge in AI applications across web and mobile platforms, democratizing access to advanced technology and fostering innovation.

With a consumption-based pricing model, Managed Agents is accessible on the Claude Platform, offering developers the tools they need to transform organizational operations. The platform's comprehensive documentation and support ensure a seamless onboarding experience, empowering developers to build and deploy agents with unprecedented speed and efficiency.
