Anthropic launches Claude Managed Agents in beta
Editorial Analysis
Anthropic introduced Claude Managed Agents, a fully managed harness and infrastructure for running Claude as an autonomous agent. Unlike the direct Messages API, this platform provides a secure cloud environment where Claude can execute code, browse the web, and manage files in stateful sessions. It simplifies the development of long-running, asynchronous AI workflows by handling the agent loop and tool execution layer natively, positioning Anthropic to capture more enterprise agentic workloads.
