Run Claude Managed Agents with Chat SDK
Why it matters
Anthropic's Chat SDK + Managed Agents removes the friction from agent deployment—developers can now build multi-platform agent applications with minimal infrastructure, making agent-as-a-feature the default path for founders rather than the exception.
Key signals
- Claude Managed Agents handles agent loop server-side (model, tools, session state, sandboxed web research)
- Chat SDK provides type-safe handler with single-point deployment
- Supports 30+ platforms including Slack, WhatsApp, Teams, Discord, and web
- Token-by-token streaming with live activity feed
- No database required—session state managed server-side
- New quickstart demo ships research analyst agent
- Zero platform registration, webhook verification, or tunnel setup required
