Welcome and event introduction
Beyond the Single Agent: Subagents, Teams, and Parallel Work by Josh Lawman
It's tempting when we first use AI tools to approach our work in a single thread - one conversation, one context, one agent collaborating with us through a task from start to finish. That approach, while effective, introduces arbitrary limitations in a world where agents and sub-agents aren't a scarce resource. However, it is difficult to break out of the single-chat-window mental model and develop effective approaches to our work that employ more than one agent (or AI tool). Many AI apps are automatically delegating your work to sub-agents, but it can be difficult to build intuitions into why they would use sub-agents in the first place and how you can better leverage them. And as soon as you start to use more than one agent, you have a range of overwhelming options in your approach - should I use 4 parallel agents, 1 agent team, or one agent with 3 sub-agents? This talk will overview leveraging multiple agents and subagents in technical and non-technical settings. You'll see examples of agents collaborating on work and walk away with new approaches to structuring your own agentic work.
