## Definition

**`agent teams`** — groups of AI agents deployed together as a coordinated, managed unit: cloud-hosted, given memory and orchestration, and assigned outcome-based tasks that they carry out asynchronously, reporting back only when the work is done. [^ed15d1a6-8e60-53ca-9dc0-bd0a82a2ddf5@113] [^ed15d1a6-8e60-53ca-9dc0-bd0a82a2ddf5@211]

## How **`agent teams`** is used here In the channel's material, **`agent teams`** refers to groups of AI agents deployed together as a coordinated unit — Anthropic's launch of **Claude Managed Agents** is the concrete instance discussed, where a team of agents is cloud-hosted, given memory and orchestration, and handed **outcome-based tasks**. Instead of a human sitting in a synchronous prompting loop, you delegate a task; the agents work **asynchronously**, making calls and iterating for a significant stretch of time, and return only when the task is done. [^ed15d1a6-8e60-53ca-9dc0-bd0a82a2ddf5@113] Two supporting points from the same discussion shape how the term is meant here: - **Reliability is the point.** Inside a bigger company, a Mac mini going down is unacceptable — teams of agents only make sense on managed, cloud-hosted infrastructure where uptime, not peak performance, is the real value. [^ed15d1a6-8e60-53ca-9dc0-bd0a82a2ddf5@211] [^ed15d1a6-8e60-53ca-9dc0-bd0a82a2ddf5@342] - **Managed platforms matter for teams.** The hosts argue this is why managed agent platforms may be sneaky important: Anthropic ships a scalable hosted platform with memory and orchestration, while OpenAI has only an Agents SDK with no cloud version yet. [^ed15d1a6-8e60-53ca-9dc0-bd0a82a2ddf5@211]  - `agent teams` = coordinated groups of agents run as one managed unit, as in Claude Managed Agents. - They are given **outcome-based tasks** and work **asynchronously**, reporting back only when done. - Teams depend on managed infrastructure for **reliability** — uptime beats peak performance in production.
