▶️ Sub-agents in 30 seconds: https://youtube.com/shorts/wPZvwy08BTE
- New: sub-agents (#30). For a task with independent parts, such as comparing a price in three shops, the agent can start sub-agents that work at the same time and report back to it
- Each sub-agent is an agent like the chat's own (same agent, model and Linux tools). It gets a hidden screen of its own only when it uses an app, and none if it only needs the web or files
- The agent can wait for the reports, or do a part of the task itself meanwhile
- Sub-agents only look things up: they can't send, post, buy, delete, change settings or ask you. Anything that needs your OK is done by the chat you talk to
- The chat shows every screen side by side with a live picture, name and state; tap one to open its chat. Stop stops them all
- Working in apps needs background mode; without it sub-agents use the background browser
- Each sub-agent uses your plan like a chat of its own
- The bubble's picture stays on one agent's screen while it's in use, and a bar on it pages through every working agent's screen. The bubble's chat lists the sub-agents
- Message box: the model and effort chip moved into it, in the chat and the bubble
- Fixed: changing the model or effort no longer shows up in the chat as "1 tool call"
- Claude Code: its own built-in sub-agent tool is off inside Buddy, so sub-agents are always the visible ones above
Full Changelog: v2.3.4...v2.3.5
Which file? Download buddy.apk: it updates itself. fdroid-check-only-v2.3.5.apk is only there for F-Droid's reproducible-build check, and doesn't update itself.
