A 'chief of staff' bot that manages a team of bots

Instead of one AI doing everything, you set up a small team: one bot per job (inbox, expenses, recruiting, research) plus a 'chief of staff' bot that hands out work and checks it. The bots message each other directly, so you aren't copying notes between them.
