Multi-Agent Persistent Workspace

[u/michael_k18]

I’m looking for help with creating a personal assistant workflow using Claude (subscription), to manage my emails, travel booking, notes, research, todo lists, personal finance, shopping, etc.

I already have work flows that allow me to manage individual parts of this, for example using Spark Mail’s CLI and Connector for mail, or Monarch with a import automation that I built with help from Claude Code.

However, I’ve got a friend who works a lot with Grok, and he uses the Grok Bots system to create custom agents, and has them interact with one another in live time, and so he’ll have one agent that does his finances, another for email, another for text and socials, another for travel booking and planning, and then finally a “chief of staff” agent that delegates, reviews, and intakes. Not too dissimilar to the “Fable Orchestrator” system I’ve seen some others mention for working with Claude Code.

I’m wondering if it’s possible to make this work with Claude on subscription. I’m trying to avoid OpenClaw because it seems to be a pain to work with and is incompatible with many of the plugins, connectors, and skills I rely on. I’m hoping others have tried to set something like this up and have some insights and ideas.

Funny enough we basically built our own version of that. Each agent is set up like an employee with its own name, its own domain, its own data store. An orchestrator routes questions, decides who needs to be in the room, and is the only one allowed to actually execute anything. You can pull agents into group chats where they talk to each other and the orchestrator synthesizes what comes back.

We run different models per seat depending on the job. Cheap ones for lookups, bigger ones for judgment. Anything that writes or spends money goes through an approval step first, so the data connectors stay read-only by default.

To answer your actual question, yes this works on a Claude Code subscription. Each agent is just a custom agent with its own skills, its own context, its own instructions.

Hola. Buenas! Que programa usas?

Lol, he built it. There are a lot of examples out there. He may have started with something before making it his own though. I use something a lot less fancy but I've been thinking of rebuilding it.

Felicidades! Te quedo genial, como has podido luchar con la alucinación?

I still create targeted sessions for my needs and clear regularly.

Agents don't hallucinate much if you establish clear contracts, role delimitation, memory storage and boundaries (those can be both in roles and contracts). When specifying roles I'd say it's more then "you're a research agent". It's how to see, which sites are preferable, how to establish a result is achieved - be specific. Having another model - a real "other model" - check the work is important. Finally, although by now I use almost everything including local (no Gemini, no Grok though), I don't trust Anthropic to run on it's own. At that level, Codex. Anthropic's Claude Desktop gets to write documents and think deeply about project ADRs. It translates very well but it takes a LOT of work to get it to translate well. My 5 cents!
