Agent Orchestration

The process of coordinating multiple AI agents so they work as a team instead of a crowd. Orchestration decides who runs when, who gets what information, and how results flow from one agent to the next.

Why it matters

Individual agents are only as useful as their coordination. Orchestration is what turns a collection of tools into a functioning team.
