Here's my situation:
I'm building a team of 6 AI agents Each agent has their own skills and responsibilities. The goal is for them to collaborate like a real team — delegating tasks, sharing progress, coordinating work. I'd like to see their progress in real time but not 100% necessary
The problem: Discord bot-to-bot messaging doesn't work with my setup. Bots can't see messages from other bots (prevents infinite loops). So when my "VP" agent tries to delegate a task to my "Lead" agent in their channel, the Lead never sees it.
What I've tried:

  • Individual Discord channels per agent (works for human → agent, fails for agent → agent)
  • Shared channels (same issue)
  • Forum threads (agents wouldn't read them.
    What I'm wondering:
  1. Platform:Are you using Discord, or something else? (Slack, Mattermost, custom chat, API-only coordination?)
  2. Architecture: Are you running multiple bot accounts, or one bot with multiple agents inside it?
  3. Coordination method: How do agents actually talk to each other? Direct messages? Shared database? HTTP API? Webhooks?
  4. Tooling:What framework/platform are you using? (I'm on OpenClaw, but open to alternatives)
    I'm willing to abandon Discord entirely if there's a better way. I just want the agents to actually coordinate on real work without me being the relay every time.
    Has anyone built something like this that actually works? What did you use?
    Would love to learn from anyone who's solved this.

I am thinking of doing something similar. I've considered making a system that runs 3 different OpenClaw instances. I have a few ideas I'm looking into trying that might work for you too.

What OS are you running on? I'm using Unraid and only just recently got my agent running.
