Claude’s New Tool Lets Anyone Create AI Agents Quickly

American tech giant Anthropic has launched a new AI tool called Claude Managed Agents, which aims to help developers build and run AI agents without dealing with complex backend software. This new feature is now available to access in public beta on the Claude Platform, said the company in its latest blog post on April 8, 2026. Previously, developing AI agents needed a lot of infrastructure, security, and system design; however, Anthropic claims that Claude Managed Agents can focus on what agents should do, and the company will handle the rest. How Does The Claude Managed Agents Tool Work?Anthropic wrote in its blog post thatClaude Managed Agents will reduce development time from months to just a few days. The tool offers built-in features like

secure code execution, data tracking, and permission controls. Moreover, the AI company claims that these agents can also function for longer periods and continue their work even if your internet connection becomes slow. This feature is still in testing, and it will allow multiple agents to work together on more complex tasks.

The company revealed that early testing has shown better performance in difficult tasks compared to traditional AI workflows. Developers can monitor performance through tools embedded in the Claude Console, which helps them by offering visibility into decision-making processes, tool usage and potential failure points.Pricing And UsageAs per Anthropic, the Claude Managed Agents is priced on consumption.
