Anthropic published a detailed guide to autonomous agents built on Claude Managed Agents. They can check Slack and GitHub every day, find important changes, then send a short summary without human input.

An agent scans work chats and repositories for unanswered requests, open tasks, and code changes. It posts to Slack only what needs attention, remembers processed messages, and checks task status again before sending.

Claude Managed Agents is in beta and runs in Anthropic’s cloud, so a computer does not need to stay on. Each run can have a spending limit and restricted access to external services. Anthropic also released an implementation on GitHub and a Claude Code command.
