Sub-agent

Sub-agent is a feature in MindPal that enables agents to delegate tasks to other specialized agents. This hierarchical delegation system allows you to build more robust and scalable agent workflows.

What is a sub-agent?

A sub-agent is an agent that works under another agent (parent agent) to handle specific tasks. The parent agent can delegate tasks to its sub-agents based on their expertise and capabilities.

How it works

When a parent agent receives a task, it can:

  1. Analyze the task requirements
  2. Identify which sub-agent is best suited for the task
  3. Delegate the task to the appropriate sub-agent
  4. Collect and process the results from the sub-agent

To configure sub-agents for an agent in MindPal:

  1. Open the agent settings
  2. Navigate to the sub-agent tab at the bottom
  3. Select the agent you want to confifure as the sub-agent

How Knowledge Sources Work

Real-world example

Let's say you have a social media management system with the following structure:

General Manager Agent
└── Social Media Manager Agent
    ├── LinkedIn Post Agent
    ├── Twitter Post Agent
    ├── Facebook Post Agent
    └── Instagram Post Agent

Here's how it works in practice:

  1. A user asks the General Manager Agent to "Create a social media campaign for our new product launch"
  2. The General Manager Agent delegates this to the Social Media Manager Agent
  3. The Social Media Manager Agent:
    • Creates a campaign plan
    • Delegates specific tasks to specialized agents:
      • LinkedIn Post Agent writes professional posts
      • Twitter Post Agent creates engaging tweets
      • Facebook Post Agent designs Facebook content
      • Instagram Post Agent develops visual content

Benefits

  • Task specialization: Each agent can focus on its specific expertise
  • Scalability: Easy to add new specialized agents as needed
  • Efficiency: Tasks are automatically routed to the most suitable agent
  • Organization: Clear hierarchy and responsibility structure
  • Flexibility: Agents can be nested at multiple levels
