Agent Orchestration

Agent orchestration is the command layer that coordinates multiple specialized AI agents to solve complex, multi-step workflows.

Think of orchestration as the conductor for an AI ensemble: it manages state, handles handoffs between models like GPT-4o and Claude 3.5, and ensures logical consistency across long-running loops. Instead of a single prompt hitting a wall, frameworks like LangGraph or CrewAI allow a 'Researcher' agent to browse the web, pass structured data to a 'Writer' agent, and trigger a 'Critic' agent for final validation. This architecture moves beyond simple RAG (Retrieval-Augmented Generation) by implementing cycles, conditional branching, and human-in-the-loop checkpoints to reduce hallucinations and automate production-grade business logic.
