Rakuten builds agents overnight with Anthropic's Claude

Japanese Rakuten uses Claude to automate business processes through agents in product, sales, marketing and finance. With Claude Fable 5, agents can run autonomously over extended periods and verify their own work, enabling larger and more complex tasks without human oversight.
