Agent Orchestration Patterns
Patterns · 5 min
How do you coordinate multiple AI agents? There are proven patterns for that.
1. Sequential Pattern
Agent A → Agent B → Agent C. Each waits for the previous.
Research → Summary → Translation2. Parallel Pattern
Several agents work simultaneously on different tasks.
Research A → \ Research B → \ Research C → Aggregate3. Hierarchical Pattern
Manager coordinates sub-managers who coordinate workers.
4. Hub & Spoke
Central hub connects to all agents, routes requests.
5. Pipeline
Data flows through agents like a pipeline. Each transforms the data.
When to Use What
| Pattern | Best For |
|---|---|
| Sequential | Dependent tasks |
| Parallel | Independent tasks |
| Hierarchical | Large teams |
| Hub & Spoke | Simple routing |
| Pipeline | Data transformation |
Next step: move from knowledge to implementation
If you want more than theory: setups, workflows and templates from real operations for teams that want local, documented AI systems.
Why AI Engineering
- Local and self-hosted by default
- Documented and auditable
- Built from our own runtime
- Made in Austria
