Multi agent

Also known as: multi-agent

Multi agent is a method where multiple AI agents share roles and collaborate. It divides the reviewer, writer, and verifier.

Multi-agent is a method of forming multiple AI agents with different roles like a team to solve problems, instead of leaving all tasks to one AI. For example, when writing a report, the agent who researches the data, the agent who writes the draft, and the agent who reviews errors collaborate in a relay.

It emerged because of the limitation that mistakes can easily accumulate if one AI handles a long and complex task alone. Splitting roles allows each agent to focus on his or her own role, which is used for complex tasks such as coding automation or in-depth research.

However, increasing the number of agents does not automatically improve the results. As agents exchange incorrect information, errors are amplified, and side effects such as costs and time are multiplied.
