Key point

With the Chat SDK, Claude Managed Agents can now be easily implemented as chat interfaces across various platforms such as Slack and WhatsApp.

Details

Claude Managed Agents can be run through the Chat SDK. Claude Managed Agents handle the agent loop—including models, tools, session state, and sandboxed web research—on the server side.

The Chat SDK provides a chat interface for agents through a single type-safe handler, and can be extended to various platforms such as Slack and WhatsApp using adapters.

Key features include:

  • Token-by-token streaming: Renders real-time responses as the model generates text.
  • Real-time activity feed: Tool calls and model request processes can be tracked within the chat.
  • No database required: Since Managed Agents store sessions, no separate server-side state management is needed.
  • High portability: With just a few lines of code changed in the handler, you can instantly switch to 10+ platforms such as Teams, Discord, and Telegram.
