0 / 5 completedThe Power of Hierarchy
In complex multi-agent systems, flat organizations quickly become chaotic. Hierarchical agent systems introduce structure through manager-worker relationships, where higher-level agents coordinate and delegate tasks to lower-level specialists. This mirrors successful human organizations and enables unprecedented scalability.
Manager Agents
Coordinate, plan, and delegate tasks to workers. Make high-level decisions.
Worker Agents
Execute specialized tasks, report results. Focus on specific capabilities.
Clear Authority
Defined command chains prevent conflicts and ensure efficient coordination.

💡 Key Insight
Hierarchies enable exponential scaling. With just 3 levels, you can coordinate dozens of specialized agents efficiently. Each manager supervises 3-5 workers, creating clear accountability without overwhelming any single agent.
