Claude Managed Agents
Claude Managed Agents is a pre-built, configurable agent system from Anthropic designed to run long-running, asynchronous tasks on managed infrastructure without requiring developers to build their own agent loops. It acts as a complete “agent harness,” allowing developers to define goals while the system handles execution, orchestration, and state management behind the scenes. Unlike direct model prompting, which requires step-by-step interaction, Managed Agents are designed for tasks that unfold over time, such as research, automation, or multi-step workflows, where the agent can continue working independently after being started. It supports advanced capabilities such as multi-agent orchestration, where a primary agent can coordinate specialized sub-agents that operate in parallel with isolated contexts, improving both speed and output quality.

Microsoft Foundry Agent Service
Microsoft Foundry Agent Service is a secure, enterprise-ready platform for designing, deploying, and orchestrating AI agents at scale. It gives teams a streamlined interface and toolset to automate complex workflows using multi-agent systems. Developers can build with hosted agents, custom code, or agent frameworks while taking advantage of Azure’s reliability, scalability, and integrated observability. Built-in tools, enterprise connectors, and Model Context Protocol support make it easy for agents to interact with business systems and organizational data. Security, access governance, and compliance are embedded throughout, allowing companies to maintain full control while deploying intelligent automation across critical processes. With one-click deployment to Microsoft 365 experiences, Foundry Agent Service accelerates how organizations operationalize AI in everyday work.

Flowise
Flowise is an open-source platform that enables developers and teams to build AI agents and LLM-powered applications through a visual interface. The platform provides modular building blocks that allow users to create everything from simple chatbot workflows to complex multi-agent systems. With its drag-and-drop design environment, developers can rapidly prototype and deploy AI-powered applications without extensive coding. Flowise supports integrations with more than 100 large language models, embeddings, and vector databases. It also includes features such as human-in-the-loop workflows, observability tools, and execution tracing for monitoring agent behavior. Developers can extend applications through APIs, SDKs, and embedded chat interfaces using TypeScript or Python. By combining visual development tools with scalable infrastructure, Flowise simplifies the process of building and deploying production-ready AI agents.

AG2
AG2 is the open source AgentOS for building production-ready AI agents and multi-agent systems in minutes, not months. Formerly AutoGen, it provides an open source Python framework for building, orchestrating, and scaling AI agents that can collaborate through shared context, use tools, execute workflows, and support both autonomous and human-in-the-loop patterns. AG2 is designed for developers who want to build systems, not prompts, with simple and intuitive syntax, built-in conversation patterns, and a flexible platform for multi-agent automation. Agents in AG2 can extend their capabilities with tools, allowing them to interact with external systems, fetch real-time data, execute code, search the web, process documents, and complete complex tasks beyond a model’s internal knowledge. It supports many LLM providers and local models, including OpenAI-compatible endpoints, Anthropic Claude, Gemini through Vertex AI, DeepSeek, and LM Studio.
