# Continuous agent chats and teamwork

Each permanent agent has one continuous conversation. Return to that agent for the next task;
there is no need to start a new chat. Agents can hand work to other agents when a job needs more
than one teammate.

## Existing group chats

The web and Electron creation menus no longer offer **New group chat**. Existing group records,
history and their APIs remain available for compatibility. These navigation changes do not
describe the native mobile interface.

Each bot keeps its own memory, computer and instructions; the group only shares the conversation.

## Who answers

- With no mention, the first bot in the group answers and can bring in the others.
- **@Name** wakes that bot. Mention several to wake them all.
- **@everyone** wakes every bot in the group.

To rename the group or change who is in it, open **Group settings** from the group's header.
**Delete group** removes the group chat.

## Bots asking other bots

A bot can message another of your bots directly, for example to ask your research bot a question.
The chat shows **Messaged** or **Message from** with the other bot's name. Click it to read the
exchange; it is view-only.

Bots decide whom to ask from each bot's description. In web and Electron, edit this under
**Role** in the agent profile. Keep it to one line about what the bot is for.

By default bots only talk to bots in the same [space](/docs/spaces/). Turn on
**Allow cross-space bot communication** in a bot's settings under **Permissions** to let it reach
bots in your other spaces.

## Subagents

For a big task, a bot can split off short-lived helpers that work in parallel and report back. Each
appears as a card in the chat showing **Running**, **Completed** or **Failed**. Subagents finish with
the task; they have no chat or memory of their own.

## Bots that build bots

A bot can create new bots, and with **Manage other bots** turned on it can also organize and
configure your bots. See [Bots that manage bots](/docs/fleet-management/).
