Anthropic introduced Wednesday the launch of a brand new product that goals to make it simpler for companies to construct and deploy AI agents. The instrument, Claude Managed Agents, presents builders out-of-the-box infrastructure to construct autonomous AI methods, simplifying a posh course of that was beforehand a barrier to automating work duties.
The transfer positions Anthropic to capitalize on its quickly rising enterprise enterprise. On Tuesday, the firm mentioned that its annualized recurring income has surpassed $30 billion, roughly 3 times larger than it was in December 2025. Both Anthropic and OpenAI, which additionally has an agent platform known as Frontier, are racing to construct out strong enterprise choices as they put together to go public as quickly as this yr.
The majority of Anthropic’s latest income progress has come from Claude Platform, an enterprise product that enables builders to faucet into the firm’s AI fashions by way of an API, in accordance to Anthropic’s head of product for the Claude Platform, Angela Jiang.

Jiang argues there’s a notable hole between what Anthropic’s fashions are succesful of and what companies are utilizing them for. The new instrument “enables any business to take the best-in-class infrastructure and deploy a fleet of Claude agents to do whatever work they need,” says Jiang.
Managed Agents will give builders an agent harness, which describes all of the software program infrastructure that wraps round an AI mannequin to assist it work agentically, or take actions on behalf of a consumer. In observe, a harness is made up of software program instruments, a reminiscence system, and different infrastructure. Agents made by way of Claude Managed Agent may even include a built-in sandboxed surroundings, by which the agent can spin up software program initiatives in a safe setting. The product additionally permits builders to create brokers that may run autonomously for hours in the cloud, monitor what different Claude brokers are doing, and toggle permissions that permit brokers to entry sure instruments.
“When it comes to actually deploying and running agents at scale, that is a complex distributed-systems engineering problem,” says Katelyn Lesse, head of engineering for the Claude Platform. “A lot of customers we’re talking about previously had a whole bunch of engineers whose job it would have been to build and run those systems at scale. Now that we are giving them that bit out of the box, they’re able to have those same engineers be focused on the core competencies of their business and of their product.”
In a demo shared with WIRED, the AI productiveness startup Notion confirmed the way it’s utilizing Managed Agents to energy a consumer onboarding characteristic. Eric Liu, a Notion product supervisor, demoed how he may off-load an extended listing of duties inside Notion to a Claude Managed Agent, which was in a position to begin ticking off consumer onboarding duties one after the other. The product in the demo runs in Notion, however Liu opened a dashboard on the Claude Platform and checked out how the brokers have been working and what instruments they have been utilizing.
Wall Street traders have grown wary of software stocks in latest months as Anthropic has launched a variety of enterprise choices, which some consider may make conventional software-as-a-service firms out of date. Whether that risk materializes or not, Managed Agents makes clear that Anthropic nonetheless has vital floor to cowl earlier than most enterprises are absolutely working on Claude.
