Glossary

Multi-agent system

One term from the glossary, defined on its own page: what it means to anyone who meets it, and how we use it.

In short

A multi-agent system is one in which several AI agents act inside a shared environment, each deciding its own next step, with no single program running them as stages. They may cooperate, negotiate, or compete; what makes it a system is that the behaviour comes from the interaction, not from any one agent.

In practice

What it means for a business.

Cooperation is not a given, which is why we name ours for it. The Cooperating AI Workforce is the cooperative kind by design: the agents hold named roles, work towards the goals you set, and a named person on your team holds command over anything needing judgement.

Read how cooperating agents divide the work, or see every term defined once.
