Anthropic tests Hub Mode in Claude apps, hinting at sub-agent management UI
testingcatalog · x · 2026-08-18
TestingCatalog spotted Anthropic testing a new "Hub Mode" in the Claude mobile app, marked as internal with no release timeline.
- It appears next to a planet icon, possibly a revival of the earlier removed "Orbit" concept; it applies to new tasks and requires an app restart, though enabling it currently produces no visible changes.
- A related "Hub" destination exists in Claude Code on the web, containing a list of sub-agents; selecting one shows Claude will generate a task board for the user and their agents.
- Speculation: Hub Mode could be an interface where Claude operates multiple sub-agents and visualizes progress, similar to the newly released Grok Bot, though no connection is confirmed.
