Sub-Agents

Agents · A team of specialists

Glitch dispatches the right agent for each task. Each agent uses a model optimized for its specialty. Free agents handle 95% of work.

Free agents use free-tier API endpoints. When quota is exhausted or higher quality is needed, Glitch automatically falls back to the paid equivalent. No config changes needed.
