Agent Orchestration
Coordinating multiple agents, tools, and workflows into a cohesive, goal-directed system.
Without orchestration, agents step on each other's toes — duplicating work, conflicting decisions, blowing budgets. Orchestration provides the structure that makes multi-agent systems reliable.
We use Paperclip to orchestrate our agents with org-chart-style hierarchy: CEO Agent coordinates all others, each with defined budgets ($0-$100/day) and governance levels (autonomous, supervised, or approval-required).
