Your agent's team

Helpers, second opinions and parallel work, all from one chat.

Ask for helpers in plain words

  • Starting out

    You do not need special commands. Ask for helpers the way you would ask a manager to put people on something.

    Try saying

    Split this research into four parts and give each to a separate agent at the same time.

  • Everyday

    The right-hand panel shows every helper, its model and how long it has run. Click one to read its work as it happens.

  • Often missed

    Mix sizes. A small, fast model can gather and sort; a strong one can do the hard thinking. Say which you want for which part.

Use the other model family

  • Often missed

    Models from the same family tend to share blind spots. For a review, ask for a helper from the other family: if the work was done by Claude, have GPT check it, and the other way round. It catches different mistakes.

    Try saying

    Have a GPT agent review this plan on its own and list anything it would change. Then tell me where you agree and disagree.

  • Often missed

    The same goes for research. Two families searching separately find different sources and come to their own conclusions. Where they agree you can trust it more; where they differ is where to look.

  • Often missed

    Ask for the reviews to be independent: each helper works without seeing the others' answers. Otherwise the second one tends to agree with the first.

Do things at the same time

  • Everyday

    Anything that splits into parts can run in parallel: one helper per supplier, per document, per region. Ten parts take about as long as one.

  • Everyday
    Try saying

    When they are all done, put their findings in one table and point out anything that does not add up.
