Put Claude to work on your next brief

Claude Managed Agents

You can now deliver a brief through your own Claude Console account and open the run there to see what Claude is doing. Claude Managed Agents handles the coding in the cloud, and Hamster opens a draft pull request on GitHub.

Connect Claude Managed Agents to start delivering.

Vercel previews

When Hamster Cloud or a cloud agent delivers a brief, Vercel can now build a preview automatically alongside the pull request. You can open the app from Review and click through the change yourself.

You can also create a preview for a pull request you've linked to a brief yourself.

Set up Vercel previews.

Local coding agents

You can now open a coding agent on your computer straight from your brief, with the prompt already filled in.

Learn how to deliver locally with your coding agent.

Alignment

As you talk through what a brief should deliver, you can see who's ready to go ahead and who still needs to weigh in. The redesigned alignment panel puts a face beside every vote.
