# Agent Swarm

An agent swarm is a coordinated group of specialized AI agents working on parts of the same objective.

## Why it matters

Multiple agents add coordination cost and more failure paths. A swarm is useful only when parallel or specialized roles outperform one well-instructed agent. Teams should evaluate the complete result, message passing, duplicated work, and the behavior of each specialist.

## Example

For a market brief, separate agents collect regulatory, customer, and competitor evidence in parallel; a final agent assembles the report and must preserve citations from each source agent.
