Agentic Orchestration: Building Multi-Agent Systems
Complex problems often require more than a single model’s reasoning. Multi-Agent Systems (MAS) involve multiple agents collaborating with one another.
1. Orchestrating Specialized Agents
The key to MAS is having specialized agents for different roles. For example:
- The Planner: Breaks down the goal and assigns tasks.
- The Worker: Executes a specific tool (e.g., Python code or search).
- The Critic: Reviews the current results and gives feedback for improvement.
2. Communication and Coordination
- Direct Communication: Agents talk to each other directly to exchange information.
- Shared State/Hub: All agents communicate through a central “blackboard” or orchestrator.
- Hierarchical Agents: A “manager” agent oversees the workflow of several “sub-agents.”
3. Why Orchestrate?
Multi-Agent Systems are powerful for things like Software Engineering, Market Research, and Large-Scale Data Processing, where the total complexity is too high for just one model.
