Why Multi-agent Orchestration instead of Role-based agents?
In the evolving AI landscape, role-based AI agents, designed for specific tasks, often lack a "MOAT" (a competitive advantage) due to their narrow focus and limited adaptability. These agents are efficient within their domains but face challenges with scalability and interoperability in larger systems.
On the other hand, horizontal frameworks for multi-agent orchestration offer a more versatile and robust solution. These frameworks manage and coordinate multiple AI agents across various roles, ensuring seamless data integration and efficient communication. By owning the data layer, they enhance accuracy and foster a comprehensive data ecosystem.
Effective communication protocols within these frameworks enable agents to share information and coordinate actions, while incentive protocols align individual agent objectives with overall system goals, promoting collaboration and optimizing performance.
The scalability and adaptability of horizontal frameworks make them superior to role-based agents, as they can integrate new agents and functionalities with minimal friction. This flexibility supports the dynamic needs of complex systems without extensive reconfiguration.
RPA: Robotic Process Automation as Alternative
Our solution marks a significant evolution from traditional non-agentic workflows to advanced AI agentic workflows, resulting in markedly better performance and the ability to handle complex tasks.
Traditional tools like Robotic Process Automation (RPA), including Zapier, n8n, and UiPath, excel at automating repetitive, rule-based tasks but are inherently limited by their inability to learn, adapt, or make decisions beyond predefined parameters.
These non-agentic workflows are effective for simple, structured tasks but fall short when faced with dynamic, unpredictable environments.
In contrast, our AI agentic workflow, as seen in platforms like Questflow, leverages sophisticated artificial intelligence, particularly large language models (LLMs), to tackle more intricate and variable tasks.
Our AI agents are designed to understand and accurately interpret user intent, adapting in real-time to ensure ongoing effectiveness and resilience.
Key features such as Parameter Auto-Complete, Human-in-the-Loop intervention, Multi-App Authorization, and collaborative Multi-Player Mode enhance the user experience by offering intuitive, secure, and efficient solutions. These agents can autonomously learn from experience, adapt to new conditions, and make nuanced decisions, significantly outperforming traditional RPA tools in complex, dynamic scenarios.
This shift to AI agentic workflows not only boosts performance but also expands the range of tasks that can be efficiently automated, making our solution uniquely capable of addressing modern, multifaceted challenges.
Here are some resources that provide information on agentic automation vs. RPA:
"RPA vs. Agentic Process Automation" by Kevin Wang [1]:
This article provides an overview of the evolution of automation, from traditional RPA to the concept of Agentic Process Automation (APA). It discusses the use of Large Language Models (LLMs) and AI-powered software bots called "Autonomous Agents" in APA. The article also explores the key components of APA, such as agentic workflow construction and execution.
"Agentic Process Automation (APA): Revolutionizing Digital Automation with AI Agents" [2]:
This resource delves into the mechanics of agentic workflows and the role of AI agents in automation. It compares APA with RPA, highlighting the benefits and challenges of APA. The article also discusses the evolution of digital automation, from RPA to Intelligent Automation (IA) and finally to APA. It provides insights into how APA leverages LLMs to automate complex, dynamic workflows.

MAO: Multi-agent Orchestration as Alternative
Here are some of the Web2 Multi-agent Orchestration (MAO) Frameworks:
CrewAI: CrewAI is a popular framework for creating multi-agent "teams" [2]. It provides a higher-level approach to multi-agent orchestration and is actively working on integrating LangGraph into its framework [2]. You can find more information about CrewAI on their website: CrewAI Website
LangChain: LangChain is an ecosystem that includes LangGraph, a package available in both Python and JS, which enables the creation of multi-agent workflows [2]. LangGraph provides a graph representation for multi-agent designs, where each agent is a node in the graph and their connections are represented as edges [2]. For more details about LangChain, you can visit their website: LangChain Website
AutoGPT: AutoGPT is an AI tool that utilizes large language models for various AI-driven applications [3]. It is designed for end-users and has gained popularity in a short period of time [3]. Unfortunately, I couldn't find a specific website for AutoGPT, but you can find more information about it in the article: AI Tools and Autonomous Agents: Auto-GPT, BabyAGI, LangChain, AgentGPT, HeyGPT, and more [3].
LangGraph: LangGraph is a package available in both Python and JS, which enables the creation of multi-agent workflows [2].

BabyAGI: This Python script is an example of an AI-powered task management system. The system uses OpenAI and vector databases such as Chroma or Weaviate to create, prioritize, and execute tasks. The main idea behind this system is that it creates tasks based on the result of previous tasks and a predefined objective. The script then uses OpenAI’s natural language processing (NLP) capabilities to create new tasks based on the objective, and Chroma/Weaviate to store and retrieve task results for context. This is a pared-down version of the original Task-Driven Autonomous Agent (Mar 28, 2023).
