Claude Managed Agents on Vercel's Agentic Infrastructure - Ship 26 NYC
Jul 20, 2026Vercel
Summary
This talk introduces Claude Managed Agents, which separate the 'brains' (agent loop managed by Anthropic) from the 'hands' (bash commands and file operations running in self-hosted sandboxes controlled by the user). This partnership with Vercel Sandbox allows for bringing agents to private data securely, with three ownership layers for control. A demo showcases an EHR analyzer running on Claude Opus 4.8 within these self-hosted sandboxes.
