One chat that runs everything
Talk to one agent; it delegates to the others and reports back.
01 / What it was
The idea: talk to a single agent in a single chat. It hands the work to a team of other agents, tracks it, and keeps you updated in the same thread.
We set it up twice: first as an instruction to our main agent, then as a dedicated agent with its own thread.
02 / How it worked
- One conversation as the only front door.
- Delegation to specialist agents and a task board behind the scenes.
- A channel to sync the terminal chat and the chat app, so the same conversation lived in both.
03 / What we saw
Appealing in theory. In practice it was hard to tell which agent was actually answering, and for a while the dedicated agent wasn't even the one replying.
04 / Where it led
It taught us to keep the routing visible: you should be able to see who is doing what.
