# Build Multi-Agent AI Teams with Agent-to-Agent
One agent is powerful. A team of specialised agents working together? That's a whole different level.
The Agent-to-Agent power-up lets your agents communicate with each other - delegating tasks, asking questions, and combining expertise to solve complex problems.
## Why Multi-Agent Systems?
- Specialisation - Each agent focuses on what it's best at (finance, support, marketing, technical docs)
- Better accuracy - Dedicated prompts and data sources for each domain
- Parallel work - Multiple bots can tackle different aspects of a complex request
- Error checking - One bot can verify another's work
- Mix models - Use different AI models for different tasks based on cost/capability
## Example: The Controller Pattern
Create a "controller" agent that coordinates specialists:
- Finance agent - Connected to Stripe, answers billing questions
- Support agent - Trained on help docs, handles how-to questions
- Marketing agent - Writes copy in your brand voice
User asks the controller: "I need help with my invoice and a copy update for our newsletter."
Controller delegates to Finance agent for the invoice, Marketing agent for the copy, then combines the responses.
## Real-World Use Cases
- Travel Planner - Flights agent + Hotels agent + Activities agent coordinate to build complete itineraries
- Research Assistant - One agent searches, another analyses, a third writes the summary
- Customer Service - Triage agent routes to Product, Billing, or Technical specialists
- Focus Groups - Spin up a panel of persona agents, each representing a different type of customer, then have a controller agent put the same questions to all of them and gather the full range of responses
## Getting Started
Add the Agent-to-Agent power-up to your main agent, then select which of your other agents it should be able to talk to. Give clear descriptions so your agent knows when to delegate. That's it - your AI team is ready.
Note: To prevent infinite loops, you can only connect agents that aren't already connected back to the calling agent.
