Multi-agent System
What is Multi-agent System?
An AI architecture in which multiple AI agents interact, collaborate, or compete to complete tasks too complex for a single model to handle alone. Multi-agent systems can divide a large task into specialised subtasks — one agent plans, another executes, a third reviews. They are increasingly common in agentic AI workflows.
Example in practice
An enterprise research workflow where one AI agent searches the web, another synthesises sources, and a third formats the final report as a slide deck is a multi-agent system — coordinating specialised agents to complete a complex task.
