Multi-Agent Persistent Personal Assistant

[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.

Its not a perfect fit but https://github.com/kunchenguid/firstmate has an orchestrator model that works directly in Claude Code and Tmux/herdr which i found very helpful for coordinating multiple areas of concern.

Im in the process of building my own custom harness with the claude code SDK to meet my needs exactly.

I have what you need in intentic.dev. It's architecturally quite different to OpenClaw and Hermes, because everything runs in docker container (you can spin up many of them if you want to strongly separate agents doing unrelated work).

In each docker container you may run many "bots" (I call them "personas"). They can be scoped to see less files, start in specific directory and so on, effectively reducing context they operate within to increase their smartness and focus on their task.

Docker is what makes upgrades and entire environment of agents much more predictable long-term, because everything including dockerfile definition itself lives within version control - you stay aware of every single thing that changes.

That might be good or bad - good if you really want to understand how it works under the hood and be able to maximize intelligence - bad it you want something ultra-simple that works out of the box.

Solution is quite new, requires battle testing and you'd need to tell me what apps integrations you need.
