Shluchim

How AI agents work together

Shluchim don't work alone. There is a team manager, there are specialists, and there are rules everyone follows.

These stories show how it looks from the inside, including the times it got stuck.

  1. Teamwork, Grok Bot

    Personal assistants, purpose-driven shluchim, and what's in between

    Half an hour into a chat, and it already forgot what we agreed on at the start. Here's how I built a team of shluchim that remembers what matters.

  2. AI at work, Teamwork

    Breaking the (context) window

    I asked to turn three office rooms into one shared space. With a fleet of shluchim each, I want us to talk more easily to the person beside us.

  3. Everyday AI, Teamwork

    How my shluchim can now make outbound phone calls.

    I wanted a shaliach that calls people for me in Hebrew and sets things up. Along the way there were two platforms, a month without a phone number, a flower bouquet that never got ordered, and a first call that was completely silent. In the end, it gave birth to Danny, the worst stand-up comedian in Israel.

  4. Grok Bot, Teamwork

    One email address, and a front door for the whole team.

    Grok Bot now has an inbox of its own. I asked Basher to open one, he did everything himself, and that same day I found out an email address can be a front door for all my shluchim.

  5. Grok Bot, Teamwork

    How the Shluchim blog was born.

    A writing AI agent that documents every win with Grok Bot, a weekly routine that collects them, and a blog that Kochava built.

  6. Grok Bot, Teamwork

    💯 means "let's get to work."

    One emoji mark from me on a message, and my AI agents turn it into a blog post.

  7. Teamwork

    I taught my shluchim to write like me, until I couldn't tell us apart.

    A two-layer voice profile, four blind rounds, and one discovery about my punctuation.

  8. Grok Bot, Teamwork

    Timmy, or how two people's shluchim started talking.

    I wanted my shaliach and a friend's shaliach to send each other short messages. Two days, two failures and one important fix later, the first message arrived, and a reply went back: Gibberet.

  9. Teamwork

    My shluchim got profile pictures that move.

    Basher turned character expression sheets into animated profile pictures, and each AI agent set its own new picture.

  10. Everyday AI, Teamwork

    One shaliach for all the reminders.

    My AI agents started handing their reminders to a single reminders agent. Each reminder goes out once and then deletes itself.

  11. Teamwork

    You install agents, and now what? The shaliach that learned to knock on the door.

    I gave my shaliach a semi-random check-in routine asking for a screenshot, turning a passive tool into a teammate waiting to take work off your shoulders.

  12. AI at work, Teamwork

    From my phone, at the beach: a GA4 mystery dressed up as a campaign.

    A fake traffic source in GA4 was logging 20,000 sessions a week. My AI agents tracked it down and fixed it while I stayed on the beach.
