Shahboz Ibragimov, a BDR on Anthropic's Japan team, details how he automated most of his sales routine with a fleet of Claude agents (named Nakama), now running on Claude Managed Agents (beta).

Agent fleet

Furiwake: routes the daily inbound lead queue across the team each morning, posting a Slack report.
Sabaki: qualifies and categorizes his leads, executes the defined next step, updates Salesforce, drafts first-touch emails.
Henji: scans his inbox hourly and drafts Japanese/English replies.
Shoudan: pushes customer-interaction updates into Salesforce opportunities.
Nokori: end-of-day calendar scan, meeting summaries, follow-up drafts.
A coordinator agent checks a Slack channel every 15 minutes, applying plain-language change requests and versioning each agent's instructions.

Playbook and lessons

Prototype in Claude first with "one skill + one scheduled task + one shared folder as knowledge base," then migrate to Managed Agents once agents exceed what you can track (skill → system prompt, task → deployment schedule, folder → memory store).
Key benefits: background runs with no cron to maintain; a single shared memory store so a correction learned by one agent propagates fleet-wide; credentials in managed vaults with scoped permissions.
He stresses non-developers can do this: describe each agent's job in plain language and let Claude write the short setup scripts.
