Anthropic's dynamic workflows let Claude choose its own multi-agent structure

Key points

• Announced Friday as "flows", a new multiagent orchestration feature built on Claude Managed Agents, presented at AI Engineer New York.
• Previously developers configured a coordinator and subagent roster; with flows, Claude writes an orchestration program that launches agents and manages information flow.
• Flows are available in Claude Console, and developers can still pass in pre-configured specialist sub-agents if they wish.
• Presenters said flows cost "much more" than a single agent but were "much more effective" at finding details; developers can set session budgets, not the model.

Why it matters for marketers: Teams running many agents should budget for higher token costs and use Claude Console graphing to audit what each sub-agent receives.
