5-minute loop · orchestrator + specialist
What they did
On 16 Aug 2026 Alex Finn (@AlexFinn) wrote that Grok Bot is built for loops: the main agent instructs another to loop a task every five minutes and monitor it. He said an orchestrator watched an engineer Bot for 24 hours and reflected every 30 minutes on one way to improve.
How it works
He contrasts this with a single Bot /loop watching itself. The extra Bot is a different context making the judgment. We summarize the public post — we did not re-run his 24-hour loop.
Why it matters
Concrete loop recipe from someone running it in public. Community; we did not re-test the engineer loop.
Why it's useful
If you want a job to keep going without you babysitting /loop, this is the two-Bot version.
Who should try it
- Builders
- Engineers
- Researchers running long jobs
From the original post
“All you do is tell your main agent to tell another agent to loop on a task every 5 minutes, and monitor it while it goes”
