Anthropic was announced on Wednesday launching a fresh product aimed at making it easier for companies to create and deploy AI agents. Claude Managed Agents offers developers a ready-made infrastructure to create autonomous AI systems, simplifying a complicated process that was previously an obstacle to automating work tasks.
This move will enable Anthropic to capitalize on its rapidly growing corporate business. On Tuesday, the company said its annual recurring revenue had crossed the mark 30 billion dollarswhich is roughly three times what it was in December 2025. Both Anthropic and OpenAI, which also has an agent platform called Limitare racing to create a solid enterprise offering as they prepare to go public as early as this year.
According to Angela Jiang, Anthropic’s head of product for the Claude Platform, most of Anthropic’s recent revenue growth has come from the Claude Platform, an enterprise product that allows developers to apply the company’s AI models via an API. Developers apply the Anthropic API to deploy AI agents like Claude Code to their workspace.
Jiang says there is a noticeable disconnect between what Anthropic models can do and what companies apply them for. The fresh tool “enables any company to benefit from best-in-class infrastructure and deploy a fleet of Claude agents to perform any work needed,” Jiang says.
Managed Agents will provide developers with a set of agents that describe the entire software infrastructure surrounding an AI model to aid it act as an agent or take actions on behalf of the user. In practice, the bundle consists of software tools, a memory system, and other infrastructure. Agents created through Claude Managed Agent will also have a built-in sandbox environment where the agent can run software projects in a secure environment. The product also allows developers to create agents that can work autonomously for many hours in the cloud, monitor the activities of other Claude agents, and toggle permissions that allow agents to access specific tools.
“When it comes to actually deploying and running agents at scale, this is a complex distributed systems engineering problem,” says Katelyn Lesse, director of engineering at Claude Platform. “Many of the customers we’re talking about previously had a whole group of engineers dedicated to building and running these systems at scale. Now that we’re giving them all this out of the box, they can focus on the core competencies of their company and product.”
In a demo shared with WIRED, AI productivity startup Notion showed how it uses managed agents to power customer onboarding. Eric Liu, product manager at Notion, demonstrated how he can offload a long list of tasks in Notion to a managed Claude agent, which can start checking off customer onboarding tasks one by one. The product demo works in Notion, but Liu opened the Claude dashboard and checked how agents work and what tools they apply.
Wall Street investors do they started to be careful about software stocks in recent months as Anthropic released a wide range of enterprise offerings that some say could make established software-as-a-service companies obsolete. Whether the threat materializes or not, Managed Agents explains that Anthropic still has a long way to go before most enterprises start fully using Claude.
