AI builds web apps well. Mobile apps have been harder. Now, the inventor of React (the technology that AI uses to build apps), has a new announcement.


Spawn a swarm of specialized agents to complete large tasks. With a working GitHub and Linear integration, you can coordinate tasks via the orchestrator agent, which knows how to break down work and delegate to sub agents. Other humans can sit in and help monitor the agents and delegate tasks. This example, spawn concurrent agents to analyze Linear and GitHub backlogs and report back with an overview:










The main problem with existing AI chat apps like @ChatGPTapp is the never ending context that gets overloaded as messages are sent. All you wanted was to find the best hotels for an upcoming vacation. But once you ask about details about a specific hotel, the initial conversation topic is cooked. A major reason Claude Code is so powerful is it allows powerful LLMs to delegate work to specialized sub-agents. Most notably the plan agent- which receives explicit instructions, prompts and tools dedicated to codebase exploration. The plan subagent can dedicate it's context to a single task, and return the refined result back to the orchestrator agent which is able to save it's context for higher level work and coordination. End user apps don't yet have such a benefit; their contexts quickly become stale as the conversation turns. With Swarm, users can get this benefit. Sub agents and the orchestrator agent are modeled as participants in a group chat, where specialized agents focused on a single task can receive instructions from an orchestrator LLM agent or users. Once web search and MCP tools are added, users will get access to a much more powerful, effective, and durable agentic chat experience. This is just a POC, but the roadmap includes agent inspection + messaging via detail views, subagent-subagent messaging, web search + MCP tools, as well as documents+artifacts that agents+humans can collaborate on.
