Personally I find the idea of having a Bot Manager quite interesting. I imagine future APIs could be boys that talk to each other, and this Bot Manager would allow humans to join the conversation


Exactly! Threads in Marvin are designed to support multiple bots and users. Two key user stories:

- multiple users in a Slack thread talking to the same bot. This is something we want to deliver soon, as Marvin powers our existing Slack bots

- one user addressing multiple bots, each of which is designed for a specific purpose (because bots do way better with reduced scope than when you have one bot try to do everything)


> bots do way better with reduced scope than when you have one bot try to do everything

Absolutely true and something that perhaps doesn’t get mentioned enough. Context constraints are a superpower.
