Experiment: making multiple Claude AIs talk to each other
A user shared a setup where multiple Claude instances run at the same time and send messages to each other. The idea is that splitting roles between AIs — one writes, another reviews — can produce better results than using a single AI alone.
Normally, you run one Claude conversation at a time. This experiment connects several Claude instances so they can exchange messages with each other, like a small team. For example, one Claude writes code while another checks it for mistakes.
This approach is called a multi-agent setup. It lets complex tasks be split across several AIs that can catch each other's errors. For a solo developer handling a big project, this is a practical way to use AI like a team rather than a single assistant.
Key points
- Multiple Claude instances run simultaneously and pass messages between each other
- Roles can be split: one AI writes code, another reviews it
- A multi-agent setup helps break complex tasks into parallel workstreams
- Solo developers can use this to get team-like output from AI tools
- The experiment is built inside the Claude Code environment
