- Claude Managed Agents is Anthropic’s new AI agent management platform
- Enterprises can use it for sandboxing, coordination, governance, and multi-agent collaboration.
- The platform is in public beta with consumption-based pricing, self-assessment is in research preview
Anthropic has unveiled a new enterprise-focused platform for building and running AI agents, and hopes to help its customers “go from prototype to launch in days rather than months.”
The new Claude Managed Agents platform responds to an experience of creating AI agents which, today, is fragmented, dependent on a lot of engineering and difficult to scale.
Claude managed agents should be able to significantly reduce this engineering overhead, standardizing deployment so that engineering teams can focus on logic and real-world problem solving rather than the underlying infrastructure.

Claude Managed Agents makes it easier (and faster) to deploy AI agents
The company highlighted four of the key propositions included in the new platform: secure sandboxing; long stand-alone sessions; multi-agent coordination so that agents can “parallelize complex work”; and governance, identity management and execution tracing. All of this shows that AI is evolving from handling simple tasks to complete workflows, with multiple agents now able to collaborate end-to-end.
“Managed Agents is purpose-built for Claude,” Anthropic wrote, signaling a similar stance to OpenAI and Microsoft’s offerings. Although centralized platforms introduce the risk of vendor lock-in, they give companies like Anthropic and customers more control over security.
And just like Anthropic’s recent introduction of Code Review, “Claude self-evaluates and iterates until he gets it right” – a tool that is currently in research preview.
Early adopters include Notion and Asana, with Anthropic claiming to have seen 10x improvements in delivery times.
The new platform uses the increasingly popular consumption-based pricing model, combining standard Claude platform token pricing plus $0.08 per session hour for active runtime. The Managed Agents platform itself is now open in public beta.
