Definition
An advanced architectural pattern where multiple specialized AI agents—each with distinct personas, tools, or knowledge domains—collaborate to fulfill a retrieval-augmented request. This approach enhances accuracy for complex, multi-hop queries but increases system latency, token consumption, and the risk of agent loops.
Moves beyond simple multi-vector retrieval by delegating reasoning and tool-selection logic to autonomous sub-units.
"A specialized newsroom where a field reporter gathers raw data, a fact-checker verifies sources, and an editor synthesizes the final story."
