Multi-Agent System

An architecture where multiple specialized AI agents coordinate to accomplish complex tasks, with each agent handling distinct responsibilities.

Multi-agent systems divide complex workflows among specialized agents that communicate and collaborate. For example, one agent might handle data integration while another manages knowledge graphs and a third focuses on experimental design. This approach mirrors how human teams divide labor, potentially enabling AI systems to tackle problems too complex for a single agent.
