Multi-Agent Systems: Coordinators, Specialized Agents, and Communication Mechanisms

The article explains why single-agent AI architectures struggle with complex tasks and argues that future AI will rely on multi‑agent systems featuring a coordinator, specialized research, planning, critic, and execution agents, shared memory or message‑passing communication, and hierarchical or decentralized coordination for scalability and robustness.
