A walked example of a first real conversation, from opening chat to a finished task. If you picked
a starter pack during setup, you'll already have teams to delegate to — this example assumes that,
but the same steps work for building a team from nothing first.
From the sidebar, start a chat with the coordinator (sometimes labeled Playground Keeper — it's
the same assistant, and the one you should default to talking to). You'll see a large input and a
short greeting.
Type something like:
You don't need to know which team should handle it — that's the coordinator's job.
For a single, well-defined task like this, the coordinator calls delegate_to_team directly: it
picks (or asks you to confirm) a team, hands it a clear title and description, and that team runs
its own tool loop to complete the work. You'll see a live activity note while it's running, then the
coordinator reports back with what the team actually produced — not just "delegated to Blog Team."
Try a multi-part request:
For anything that spans more steps or more than one team, the coordinator can draft a plan first
(create_plan), which gets reviewed, then run across teams in parallel (run_plan) — you'll see
each team's piece before the final synthesis.
Ask the coordinator: "What did you save to the Brain from that?" Task results and any research
findings are archived back into the Brain automatically, tagged by team or
project, so the next related task starts with more context than the last one.
If you're not sure how to phrase a request, open Prompt Templates, copy
one (for example "Create an agent team" or "Dispatch work to a team"), paste it into chat, and fill
in the blanks.
- Create a team: "Create an agent team called Research for competitive analysis, with a Researcher and a Writer role."
- Set a model: "Make the Researcher use Claude Opus" (pins that agent to a specific model).
- Schedule something recurring: "Every weekday at 9am, have the Blog Team check for trending topics and save notes to the Brain."
