Agent Orchestration (Magentic)
What is agent orchestration?
Agent orchestration allows you to create agent teams that collaborate to accomplish complex tasks. Each agent has its specialized role, and together they form an intelligent and coordinated system.Powered by Magentic: We use the Magentic framework for multi-agent orchestration, enabling intelligent and autonomous coordination.
Why orchestration?
- Complex tasks
- Specialization
- Scalability
Some tasks require multiple skills:Example: Product launch
- Marketing Agent: Creates content and visuals
- Social Media Agent: Schedules posts
- Analytics Agent: Tracks performance
- CRM Agent: Updates customer segments
- Orchestrator: Coordinates everything
Monitor execution in real-time
Once launched, you can monitor your task live:- Real-time view
