Anthropic released the Managed Agents API on April 8 — and it's a game changer. You can now create persistent AI agents with tools, memory, and multi-step orchestration built in.
But here's the thing: the API is powerful but raw. Getting to production means wiring up:
- Memory and state management
- Tool orchestration and error handling
- Deployment pipelines
- Monitoring and observability
- Security and rate limiting
That's weeks of boilerplate before you ship anything.
So I'm building AgentForge
A production-ready toolkit that gives you:
- 9 agent templates (customer support, sales, data pipeline, etc.)
- TypeScript SDK with type-safe tool definitions
- Built-in monitoring dashboard
-
One-command deploy —
npx agentforge deploy - Skill system — plug in Stripe, Zendesk, Slack, etc.
Think of it as ShipFast but for AI agents.
The validation approach
Instead of building for 3 months in silence, I put up a landing page first to see if anyone actually wants this:
Early access with 40% off for the first 100 devs.
Question for the community
If you could deploy a production AI agent in 5 minutes, what would you build first? I'm curious what use cases people are most excited about.
