- 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-evaluation is in research preview
Anthropic has unveiled a new enterprise-focused platform for building and running AI agents, and it hopes to help its customers “go from prototype to launch in days instead of months.”
The new Claude Managed Agents platform comes in response to an AI agent building experience that today is fragmented, dependent on a lot of engineering and difficult to scale.
Claude Managed Agents should be able to significantly reduce technical overhead by standardizing implementation, allowing engineering teams to focus on logic and solving real-world problems rather than the underlying infrastructure.

Claude Managed Agents makes deploying AI agents easier (and faster).
The company highlighted four of the key propositions included in the new platform: secure sandboxing; longer autonomous sessions; multi-agent coordination so that agents can “paralyze complex work”; and governance, identity management and execution tracking. All of these show AI evolving from handling simple tasks to entire workflows, with multiple agents now able to collaborate end-to-end.
“Managed Agents is purpose-built for Claude,” Anthropic wrote, signaling a similar position to OpenAI and Microsoft’s offerings. While centralized platforms introduce the risk of vendor lock-in, they give companies like Anthropic and customers more control over security.
And like Anthropic’s recent introduction of Code Review, “Claude self-evaluates and iterates until it gets there”—a tool currently in research preview.
Early adopters include Notion and Asana, with Anthropic claiming to have seen 10x improvements in delivery time.
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 running. The Managed Agents platform itself is now open in public beta.
