Claude Code launches Dynamic Workflows for autonomous AI swarms (June 22)
On June 22 Anthropic rolled out Dynamic Workflows for Claude Code, letting a single prompt spin up dozens of sub‑agents that act on their own. The feature works in the cloud and via API, so a small shop can script a lead‑capture bot, a follow‑up email generator, and a invoice checker in one flow. For a local plumber, that means a new customer inquiry triggers a quote draft, a calendar invite, and a payment reminder without any manual steps. The tech is priced like a standard SaaS plan, so you don’t need a data‑center budget. Start by copying the sample workflow from Anthropic’s docs and swapping in your own contact forms. You’ll see time saved immediately.
Automating repetitive admin steps frees up billable hours and cuts errors for any Stony Plain service business.
