Anthropic’s new product aims to handle the hard part of building AI agents

Anthropy announced Wednesday Launching a new product aimed at making it easier for companies to build and deploy companies Artificial intelligence agents. The tool, Claude Managed Agents, provides developers with an unconventional infrastructure for building autonomous AI systems, simplifying a complex process that was previously a barrier to automating business tasks.

The move allows Anthropic to capitalize on its rapidly growing business. The company said on Tuesday that its annual recurring revenue had exceeded 30 billion dollarswhich is nearly three times what it was in December 2025. Both Anthropic and OpenAI, which also has a proxy platform called borderis racing to build a strong enterprise offering as it prepares to go public as soon as this year.

Most of Anthropic’s recent revenue growth has come from Claude Platform, an enterprise product that allows developers to leverage the company’s AI models through an API, according to Anthropic’s product lead for Claude Platform, Angela Jiang. Developers use the Anthropic API to deploy AI agents, like Claude Code, into their workspace.

Jiang says there’s a noticeable gap between what anthropic models can achieve and what companies use them for. The new tool “enables any company to take best-in-class infrastructure and deploy a fleet of cloud agents to do whatever work they need,” Jiang says.

Managed agents will provide developers with an agent utility, which describes all the software infrastructure that wraps around the AI ​​model to help it act as an agent, or take actions on the user’s behalf. In practice, the belt consists of software tools, a memory system, and other infrastructure. Agents created through Claude Managed Agent will also come with a built-in sandbox environment, where the agent can create code projects in a secure environment. The product also allows developers to create agents that can work autonomously for hours in the cloud, monitor what other Claude agents are doing, and toggle the permissions that allow agents to access certain tools.

“When it comes to actually deploying and running agents at scale, this is a complex engineering problem for distributed systems,” says Caitlin Lees, head of engineering at Cloud Platform. “A lot of the customers we’re talking about previously had a whole bunch of engineers whose job it was to build these systems and get them up and running at scale. Now that we’re giving them that little bit of innovation, they can have those same engineers focus on the core competencies of their business and product.”

In a demo shared with WIRED, AI productivity startup Notion demonstrated how it uses managed agents to power its customer onboarding feature. Notion Product Manager Eric Liu demonstrated how he could offload a long list of tasks within Notion to a Claude-managed agent, which was able to start defining customer onboarding tasks one by one. The product in the demo worked in Notion, but Liu opened up a dashboard on the Claude Platform and looked at how the agents worked and the tools they were using.

Wall Street investors did it I became wary of software stocks In recent months, Anthropic has released a wide range of enterprise offerings, which some believe could make traditional SaaS companies obsolete. Whether this threat materializes or not, Managed Agents makes it clear that Anthropic still has a lot of ground to cover before most organizations are fully operational on Claude.
