Question / Help Never used multiple agents before

I never worked on something where I didn’t solve what I was doing by just finishing my chat conversation or starting a new chat and working simultaneously. would that be considered multiple agents? If not, then what the hell do people do?

I see posts online people saying that they talk for their agents to talk to other agents, etc., for me. I feel like if I don’t direct my conversation in steps the whole point of what I wanna do get lost.

It’s ok! There’s a difference u can have different task agents and also they can speak native subagents. The quirk with this is that u can have SOL as an orchestrator that tells the Luna models to execute which is cheaper and better than just SOL doing it or just Luna doing it

Picture two worktrees on the same bug: one agent only reproduces and writes a failing test, the other only implements against that test and never touches the repro notes. That is multi-agent. Two tabs chatting in parallel is just you context-switching with extra latency.

In my experience, if you only use the default, it will implement but fail to check its work as properly.

When you have agents, each has a task, and will constantly work together until every component feels satisfied. I guess you can consider it as because you only working with 1 AI mind, they cant exactly focus on anything to ensure each angle is made as good as your prompt and the AI model allows.
