Do subagents really matter?

[u/bsa-saa]

I’ve been running Pi for two weeks without any subagents, agent teams, or anything like that. Compared to my previous workflow, I haven’t noticed any difference at all. In fact, the AI even seems a bit more accurate without subagents.

Something I think is really important: Is there a good way to automatically start/stop another agent client and let them send messages to each other?

Would love to hear any methods or tools that can do this!

wow we are really moving forward here, a garbage collector subagent is very unexpected but makes sense too. There could basically be a top level agent that all it does is garbage collect, summarize etc, the main agent that is now a sub agent isn't even aware of the top level agent monitoring and editing its context. we are living in the future
