Glossary OTP

Agent Army

A team of specialized AI agents that work together inside one organization. Each agent has a clear job, clear tools, and clear boundaries. The "army" part is not about quantity. It is about structure. A well-built agent army has no overlap, no gaps, and every agent knows exactly what it owns.

Why it matters

Throwing more agents at a problem without structure creates chaos. An agent army turns chaos into a system.
