Concurrent Orchestration(CO)
Multiple agents work simultaneously on the same task to provide diverse perspectives and parallel processing power
In 30 seconds
- What
- Multiple agents analyze the same task in parallel, each from a different angle, then results combine into a unified output.
- When to use
- Complex decisions needing diverse expertise where speed matters more than sequential refinement of a single analysis.
- Watch out
- Conflicting agent conclusions require explicit resolution logic or you get contradictory recommendations instead of clarity.
