Multi-Agent System
A Multi-Agent System (MAS) is a computerized system composed of multiple interacting intelligent agents. These agents coordinate, communicate, and collaborate (or compete) with each other to solve complex problems that are beyond the individual capabilities of any single agent.
Frequently Asked Questions
How do agents communicate in a multi-agent system?▼
They communicate using standardized protocols (like JSON messages or function call returns) or natural language prompts managed by an orchestration framework.
What is the main benefit of Multi-Agent Systems over single agents?▼
Specialization. By dividing a complex task into specialized roles (e.g. researcher, writer, editor), MAS reduces error propagation and context clutter.
