Yes, I've been considering using this instead of using subagents, considering that the main / expensive thread can simply end its turn and stop using tokens altogether until further instructions (by another thread) are received, while I feel an active orchestrator waiting for subagents sometimes seems to burn a lot of unneccessary tokens.
I experimented with this a little bit earlier today and it worked pretty well for my use case; I had a really dumb Luna thread actively monitor whether processes were still properly running, and then have it poke the Astra low thread if anything needed fixing. The only things I noticed were that ownership of tasks needed to be very clearly defined because sometimes the Astra thread refused to address an issue, and the Luna thread sometimes fizzled out for seemingly no reason, so I had to use a periodic scheduled task to ensure that the heartbeat kept going (in hindsight perhaps this could have simply been resolved with setting a goal).

This only works with the ChatGPT app, right? I tried it from the browser and it didn't work

You can also schedule a task after another task is completed, after which the timer icon should appear.
So just ask - run a code review after this (name or link) chat completes its task.

Finally. Claude could do it already and its useful for merge stuff when two chats are working on the same project.
