  "summary": "You can now ask your agents in Amp to spawn other agents. In orbs, your local machine [^1], or on any other machine. They can send messages and files to each other, too. You can have agents in orbs work on side quests while you continue your work: Spin up an orb thread with what you know about this unrelated bug, ask it to fix it, then keep working here. Or fan out work: Run four low-mode threads in parallel to test this flow in Chrome at four screen sizes and report back with screenshots. Find and continue old work by pulling in the important files: Pull the files from my abandoned prototype thread into this workspace and integrate the useful parts into our current approach. Offload work to another machine: Start a new thread on cloud-dev-box and upload this test matrix we created. Ask it to run through each row at least 10 times. Coordinate cross-project work: Spawn an agent in the docs project, send it what it needs to document this API change, and ask it to report back. Agents running locally, or in orbs, or anywhere else, and sending messages and files to each other? It's a whole new world.",
