100-word summary
Anthropic just launched Claude Managed Agents in public beta, handling all the server babysitting that normally bogs down AI projects. The service runs agents for hours without crashing if your connection drops, includes built-in security sandboxes, and tracks every decision your bot makes. Rakuten reportedly went from concept to live in a week. The catch? You'll pay standard API rates plus eight cents per active hour. Internal tests showed task success jumping 10 points on complex file work. Translation: companies can now skip months of plumbing work and find out if their agent idea actually works.
