Multi-Agent Systems and Orchestration
Quick Summary
A multi-agent system assigns distinct roles to multiple agent processes and coordinates their work. It adds value only when specialization or parallel work outweighs extra cost, latency, and failure paths.
What you will learn
- Explain common multi-agent coordination patterns
- Decide when one agent or a deterministic workflow is simpler
- Define contracts and ownership between agent roles
