What is Agent Orchestration?

Agent orchestration is the art of coordinating multiple tasks, tools, and agents to achieve complex goals. Like a conductor leading an orchestra, orchestration ensures that each component executes at the right time, in the right order, and with the right information.

Why Orchestration Matters

🎯

Complex Tasks

Break down large goals into manageable steps

⚡

Efficiency

Parallelize work and minimize wait times

🔄

Reliability

Handle errors and retry failed operations

Core Concepts

🔗 Task Dependencies

Define which tasks must complete before others can start

📊 State Management

Track workflow progress and pass data between tasks

⚠️ Error Handling

Gracefully handle failures with retries and fallbacks

🎛️ Flow Control

Branch logic, loops, and conditional execution paths

💡 Key Insight

Good orchestration transforms complexity into clarity. Instead of a tangled mess of function calls, orchestration provides a clear, maintainable structure. You define what needs to happen and when, and the orchestrator handles execution, errors, and state management.
