Multi-Agent System

A multi-agent system is a setup in which several autonomous AI agents work together, each handling a specific part of a larger task. The agents can communicate, divide work, and combine their outputs to achieve goals that would be difficult for a single model.

In enterprise contexts, multi-agent systems allow complex workflows — such as researching a topic, drafting content, checking compliance, and distributing a presentation — to be fully automated.
