Collaboration
Enable multiple agents to work together on complex tasks
The Collaboration section enables multiple agents to work together on complex tasks, forming teams with specialized roles and workflows that coordinate their activities.
Collaboration Overview
The collaboration system has several components:
Teams
Group agents for collaborative tasks
Workflows
Define multi-step processes
Workflow Designer
Visually create and edit workflows
Execution Monitoring
Track collaborative processes
Teams
The Teams section allows you to group agents for collaborative tasks:
- Define team purpose and scope
- Set team name and description
- Configure team settings
- Establish team goals
- Define team purpose and scope
- Set team name and description
- Configure team settings
- Establish team goals
- Add agents to teams
- Define agent roles
- Set agent priorities
- Configure agent relationships
- Define how agents share information
- Set up notification rules
- Configure data passing
- Establish communication protocols
- Set access controls
- Define resource limits
- Configure security boundaries
- Manage external access
Workflows
The Workflows section allows you to define multi-step processes:
Workflow Definition
Create the overall structure and purpose
Step Configuration
Define individual workflow steps
Transition Rules
Set conditions for moving between steps
Data Mapping
Configure how information flows through the workflow
Workflow features include:
- Sequential and parallel execution paths
- Conditional branching based on results
- Looping and iteration capabilities
- Error handling and recovery procedures
- Timeout and fallback mechanisms
- Checkpoint and resumption support
Workflow Designer
The Workflow Designer provides a visual interface for creating and editing workflows:
Visual Editor
Drag-and-drop interface for workflow creation
Connection Mapping
Define how steps connect and interact
Testing Tools
Validate workflow functionality
Version Control
Track changes and manage versions
Designer capabilities include:
- Intuitive drag-and-drop interface
- Real-time validation and error checking
- Step templates and patterns
- Simulation and testing tools
- Collaboration features for team editing
- Import/export functionality
Execution Monitoring
The Execution Monitoring section helps you track collaborative processes:
- Current workflow state
- Active and pending steps
- Agent status and activity
- Progress indicators
- Current workflow state
- Active and pending steps
- Agent status and activity
- Progress indicators
- Step duration and bottlenecks
- Resource consumption
- Success and failure rates
- Comparison to benchmarks
- Detailed execution logs
- Step-by-step replay
- Variable inspection
- Error analysis
- Failure notifications
- Delay warnings
- Resource threshold alerts
- Custom event triggers
