Claude Agents. Autonomous AI That Ships.
We build production agent systems with Claude managed agents and the Anthropic Agent SDK. Autonomous workflows, multi-agent orchestration, and tool-using agents for businesses that want AI doing real work.

What Are Claude Agents?
Claude agents are AI systems that go beyond answering questions. They take actions. An agent receives an objective, breaks it into steps, uses tools to gather information and execute tasks, evaluates its own progress, and delivers a completed result. The difference between a chatbot and an agent is the difference between someone who gives you directions and someone who drives you there.
Anthropic offers two paths to building agents with Claude. Managed agents are Anthropic's hosted autonomous agent runtime, launched in April 2026. You define the task, connect the tools, and Anthropic handles the infrastructure -- scaling, monitoring, error handling, and safety controls. It is the fastest way to get production agents running. The second path is the Agent SDK, released in April 2025. The SDK gives you the building blocks -- agent loops, tool definitions, context management, multi-agent handoffs, and guardrails -- to build and host agents on your own infrastructure. Full control, full responsibility.
The practical distinction matters. Managed agents are a service. You configure and deploy them. Agent SDK agents are software you build, test, and operate. Most businesses benefit from both: managed agents for standard workflows where speed matters, and SDK-built agents for specialized processes that require custom orchestration or tight integration with proprietary systems.
We have been building Claude agent systems since the earliest SDK releases and deploying managed agents since launch. Our team designs agent architectures, builds the MCP integrations that give agents access to your tools and data, implements the monitoring and guardrails that keep agents reliable, and trains your team to operate and extend the systems we build.

What We Build
From single autonomous workflows to multi-agent systems with full observability. Every layer of Claude's agent stack, configured for your business.
Autonomous Workflows
Agents that execute multi-step business processes end-to-end -- research, analysis, document generation, and action -- without requiring human input at each stage. Define the objective and the agent handles the rest.
Multi-Agent Systems
Hierarchical agent architectures where specialized sub-agents handle discrete tasks under a coordinator. Parallel execution, context sharing, and intelligent routing for complex workflows that require different skills.
Tool-Using Agents
Agents that connect to your databases, APIs, CRMs, and internal tools through MCP servers. Claude reads your data, takes actions in your systems, and produces outputs grounded in real information -- not hallucinated guesses.
Agent Monitoring & Observability
Production-grade logging, cost tracking, human-in-the-loop checkpoints, and real-time dashboards. Every agent decision is auditable. Every run has budget limits. Your team stays in control without becoming a bottleneck.
Guardrails & Safety Controls
Configurable boundaries that keep agents within defined operating parameters. Output validation, sensitive action confirmation, escalation rules, and kill switches. Autonomous does not mean uncontrolled.
Agent Infrastructure
The underlying architecture that makes agents reliable at scale -- retry logic, context management, state persistence, error recovery, and graceful degradation. We build the boring infrastructure that keeps agents running in production.
Managed Agents vs Agent SDK
Two paths to production agents. The right choice depends on your workflow complexity, infrastructure requirements, and timeline.
Managed Agents
Anthropic hosts and runs your agents
- Fastest path to production -- deploy in days, not weeks
- Anthropic handles infrastructure, scaling, and uptime
- Built-in monitoring, logging, and safety controls
- Best for standard agent workflows and common business tasks
- Lower engineering overhead -- no agent runtime to maintain
- Automatic updates as Anthropic improves the runtime
Agent SDK
You build and host your own agents
- Full control over agent behavior and orchestration logic
- Custom tool definitions and integration patterns
- Host on your own infrastructure for data residency requirements
- Complex multi-agent topologies with custom handoff logic
- Fine-grained control over context, memory, and state
- Best for specialized workflows with proprietary requirements
Not sure which approach fits? Most of our clients use a combination. We help you determine the right architecture during the first week of any engagement.
