Agent Orchestration
The coordination of multiple AI agents working together on a complex task, including routing, handoffs, shared memory, and workflow management.
In Depth
Agent orchestration is to AI agents what container orchestration is to microservices. When a task is too complex for a single agent, you decompose it across specialized agents — a researcher, a writer, a reviewer — and orchestrate their collaboration. This includes routing tasks to the right agent, passing context between agents, managing shared state, handling failures, and assembling final outputs. Good orchestration makes multi-agent systems more reliable and capable than any single agent.
