Some work has too many strands for one chat thread. Researching ten companies, exploring three different solutions, planning a project across four functions. When that happens, your colleague can dispatch sub-agents — focused workers that go off, do one piece, and come back with a clean answer. You stay in the main chat. The sub-agent does the heavy lifting in the background.Documentation Index

Why use them
The main reason: don’t bloat the conversation. If you ask a colleague to research ten companies in one go, all the half-formed thoughts and dead-end searches stay in the chat history. Memory gets cluttered. Future answers get fuzzier. Send those ten research jobs to ten sub-agents instead. Each one does its piece in isolation, comes back with a tight summary, and the main chat stays clean.When to ask for them
A few patterns where sub-agents help:- Anything in parallel. Researching multiple companies, drafting outreach for ten leads, summarising five long documents. Each one a sub-agent.
- Exploring options. Considering three different angles on a strategy — give each angle a sub-agent and compare the outputs.
- Verification. Have a sub-agent independently verify the work the main colleague did. They don’t see each other’s reasoning, so the verifier catches mistakes the main one missed. (More on this in verification techniques.)
- Long-running research. A sub-agent that goes deep, while you keep working with the main colleague.
How to ask
Just tell the colleague.Use sub-agents to research these five companies in parallel. One per company. Have each one come back with the same shape: company, recent news, two potential pain points, named contact.
For this plan, use a sub-agent to verify the numbers in section 3 independently.
Send a sub-agent off to read all our recent customer call notes and summarise patterns. Keep working on the report meanwhile.The colleague knows which kind of sub-agent to use — research, planning, exploration, or general purpose — and dispatches it.
What you’ll see
The sub-agent shows up as a card in the chat: what it’s doing, when it finishes. You can expand to see the work, but you don’t have to. The main colleague pulls in just the result and keeps going.Where to next
