Multi-Agent
[/ˈmʌlti ˈeɪdʒənt/]
Definitions
Describing a system architecture where multiple AI agents collaborate, delegate, or compete to accomplish a shared goal. Multi-agent systems can parallelize work, specialize roles, and check each other's outputs, enabling tasks too complex for a single agent context window.
“The multi-agent pipeline had a planner agent, a coder agent, and a reviewer agent working in sequence.”
