Multi-Agent Workflows

Coordinate AI Agentsinto Production Workflows.

Compose specialized agents into pipelines, parallel fan-outs, routers, and supervisor hierarchies. Each agent reasons independently while the orchestrator manages handoffs, aggregation, and convergence. All inference runs entirely on-device with full data privacy.

4 Orchestration Patterns Shared Model Memory Built-in Resilience

Pipeline

Chain agents in sequence. Each output becomes the next input.

Parallel

Run agents concurrently, then merge all results.

Router

Classify intent and dispatch to the best specialist.

Supervisor

Lead agent delegates, aggregates, and decides next steps.

User Goal Orchestrator Agent A + Agent B Result

Four Patterns. Every Workflow.

Each pattern solves a different coordination challenge. Pick the one that matches your task shape, or combine them for complex multi-step workflows.

Pipeline

PipelineOrchestrator

Chain agents in strict sequence. Each agent's output automatically becomes the next agent's input. Ideal for tasks where each step builds on the previous result.

  • Content creation: research, write, then edit
  • Data pipelines: extract, transform, load
  • Document processing: parse, summarize, translate
Pipeline.cs
// Chain 3 agents: research -> write -> edit
var researcher = Agent.CreateBuilder(model)
    .WithName("Researcher")
    .WithSystemPrompt("Find key facts and data.")
    .Build();

var writer = Agent.CreateBuilder(model)
    .WithName("Writer")
    .WithSystemPrompt("Draft content from research.")
    .Build();

var editor = Agent.CreateBuilder(model)
    .WithName("Editor")
    .WithSystemPrompt("Polish and finalize.")
    .Build();

var pipeline = new PipelineOrchestrator(
    researcher, writer, editor
);

var result = await pipeline.ProcessAsync(
    "Write a blog post about AI agents"
);
Parallel

ParallelOrchestrator

Run multiple agents concurrently and merge their results. Every agent sees the same input and works in parallel, reducing total latency to the slowest agent.

  • Multi-perspective document review
  • Ensemble analysis for higher accuracy
  • Concurrent data extraction from multiple sources
Parallel.cs
// 3 reviewers analyze concurrently
var techReviewer = Agent.CreateBuilder(model)
    .WithName("TechReviewer")
    .WithSystemPrompt("Evaluate technical accuracy.")
    .Build();

var bizReviewer = Agent.CreateBuilder(model)
    .WithName("BusinessReviewer")
    .WithSystemPrompt("Assess business impact.")
    .Build();

var secReviewer = Agent.CreateBuilder(model)
    .WithName("SecurityReviewer")
    .WithSystemPrompt("Check for security risks.")
    .Build();

var parallel = new ParallelOrchestrator(
    techReviewer, bizReviewer, secReviewer
);

var results = await parallel.ProcessAsync(
    "Review this architecture proposal"
);
Router

RouterOrchestrator

Classify the user's intent and dispatch to the most appropriate specialist agent. Only one agent handles each request, keeping responses focused and efficient.

  • Helpdesk triage across specialist domains
  • Multi-model routing by task complexity
  • Cost optimization: small model for simple tasks, large model for complex
Router.cs
// Route to the best specialist
var codeHelper = Agent.CreateBuilder(model)
    .WithName("CodeHelper")
    .WithDescription("Handles coding questions.")
    .WithSystemPrompt("You are a coding expert.")
    .Build();

var dataAnalyst = Agent.CreateBuilder(model)
    .WithName("DataAnalyst")
    .WithDescription("Handles data analysis.")
    .WithSystemPrompt("You are a data analyst.")
    .Build();

var docWriter = Agent.CreateBuilder(model)
    .WithName("DocWriter")
    .WithDescription("Handles documentation.")
    .WithSystemPrompt("You are a technical writer.")
    .Build();

var router = new RouterOrchestrator(
    codeHelper, dataAnalyst, docWriter
);

var result = await router.ProcessAsync(
    "Fix the null reference in line 42"
);
Supervisor

SupervisorOrchestrator

A lead agent dynamically delegates tasks to workers, aggregates responses, and decides next steps. The supervisor reasons about which worker to call and when the task is complete.

  • Complex research with iterative sub-tasks
  • Project management with dynamic task allocation
  • Multi-step reasoning that adapts based on intermediate results
Supervisor.cs
// Supervisor delegates dynamically
var supervisor = new SupervisorOrchestrator(model);

supervisor.RegisterWorker(
    Agent.CreateBuilder(model)
        .WithName("Researcher")
        .WithDescription("Finds information.")
        .WithTools(t => t.Register(
            BuiltInTools.WebSearch))
        .Build()
);

supervisor.RegisterWorker(
    Agent.CreateBuilder(model)
        .WithName("Analyst")
        .WithDescription("Analyzes data.")
        .Build()
);

supervisor.RegisterWorker(
    Agent.CreateBuilder(model)
        .WithName("Writer")
        .WithDescription("Writes reports.")
        .Build()
);

var result = await supervisor.ProcessAsync(
    "Research and summarize AI trends"
);

Choose the Right Orchestration Pattern

Match your task shape to the correct pattern. When in doubt, start with Pipeline for sequential work or Parallel for independent analysis.

If your task needs... Use Example Agents Run
Steps executed in strict order, each building on the last Pipeline Research → Draft → Edit → Publish Sequentially
Multiple independent perspectives on the same input Parallel Tech review + Legal review + Security audit Concurrently
Intent classification to dispatch to the right specialist Router Helpdesk: billing vs. tech support vs. sales One at a time
Dynamic delegation with a lead agent deciding next steps Supervisor Research project: gather, analyze, then write report On demand
