Agent Collaboration UX(ACX)
User experience patterns for multi-agent coordination, handoffs, and collaborative workflows with transparent orchestration
In 30 seconds
- What
- Displays multiple agents working together with clear handoffs, status updates, and specialization badges so users see who does what and why.
- When to use
- Complex workflows requiring different expert agents, where users need confidence that work is coordinated and nothing falls through cracks.
- Watch out
- Overly detailed dashboards confuse users; keep visibility focused on decisions and blockers, not every internal agent state change.
