  • Outcomes (public beta): agents self-correct against defined rubrics; raised task success by up to 10 points in Anthropic's tests (docx +8.4%, pptx +10.1%)
  • Multiagent Orchestration (public beta): a lead agent delegates to specialist subagents running in parallel with a shared filesystem and persistent event history
  • Dreaming (research preview, request access required): scheduled job that reviews past sessions and memory stores to extract patterns for self-improvement
  • Webhooks added for agent completion events; full action visibility in Claude Console
  • Customer reports: Harvey saw ~6x completion rate increase with Dreaming; Wisedocs cut document review time by 50%

Best for

When to use it
