Managed Agents#

Autonomous agents created directly on Lens Agents, configured through conversation. They learn, remember, and operate on their own — within the boundaries you set.

  • Creating a managed agent


    Bootstrap a new agent, configure its role, and complete first-run onboarding.

  • Autonomy levels


    Five levels from Observer (monitor only) to Autonomous (act within policy). Controls decision-making latitude.

  • Heartbeat monitoring


    Natural-language monitoring instructions with smart alert suppression.

  • Scheduling


    Recurring tasks via cron, intervals, or one-shot timers.

  • Memory


    Two-layer memory system: searchable database plus always-in-context summary.

  • Workspace files


    Seven markdown files that define each agent's identity, behavior, and context.

  • Subagents


    Delegate tasks to specialized subagents for orchestration and focused work.

  • Web chat


    Interact with your agent through the Lens Agents web dashboard.

  • Slack


    DMs, channels, and multi-user threads — agents as first-class Slack participants.


Design your first managed agent with us

Scoping a managed agent is the most hands-on part of an evaluation. We work through the role (SRE, support, compliance, or specific to your operation), the autonomy level, the policies, the heartbeat cadence, and which channel it lives in. Talk to us with the use case.
