Short summary

Multi-agent systems decompose AI tasks across specialized agents, solving monolithic prompt failures like tone drift and hallucinated tool calls. Six canonical orchestration patterns—Sequential, Concurrent, Group Chat, Handoff, Magnetic, Hierarchical—scale from simple to complex. Incident-response is the core use case, with end-to-end Semantic Kernel code included.
