Build a 24/7 AI Agent with Claude Code + Managed Agents

Describe what you want, run the script once, close your laptop — the agent keeps working. This guide takes you from zero to your first production agent, then hands you the exact GTM use case from the demo (Clay → research → Instantly) plus more to try yourself.

Every dashboard is a thin UI over one database table and one data source, with an LLM doing the messy parsing a paid product would normally charge you for. This guide walks the repeatable architecture so you can build your own in an afternoon.
