Bot-to-bot power-up overview

The bot-to-bot power-up allows your bots to "speak" to one or more of your bots to delegate tasks, ask questions, look up information and more. This allows you to create powerful multi-agent teams that collectively work together to solve complex tasks, in addition to providing a way to share knowledge between bots.

A simple multi-agent system might consist of a top level "controller" agent who coordinates and communicates with a number of sub-agents with specific goals or areas of expertise.

A basic example might look like this - A top level controller agent connected:

• Finance agent - Answers financial questions with access to stripe and accounting data
• Customer support agent - trained customer support docs with access to support ticketing system
• Marketing agent - prompted to help write and review marketing copy in your brands voice

Benefits of multi-agent systems

The are many benefits of of creating multi-agent systems over having a single agent do everything:

• Teamwork for big tasks: LLM agents split tasks, each focusing on specific parts to deliver the best combined result.
• Specialised agents: Each agent excels in a specific skill, like coding or storytelling, covering a wide range of expertise, and each can have its own dedicated prompt
• Faster problem solving: Agents work on different parts of a problem simultaneously, speeding up the process.
• Adaptability: Agents adjust their roles or add new ones to handle changing tasks or challenges.
• Error checking: One agent can verify another's work, improving accuracy and reducing mistakes.
• Model selection: Use a selection of AI models in your agent system targetted to the specific task.
• Backup and reliability: If one agent struggles, others step in to keep the system running smoothly.
• Creative collaboration: Agents combine ideas to generate unique, innovative solutions.
• Handling complex systems: Different agents manage specific parts of complex tasks (e.g., traffic, energy, customer service) while working seamlessly.

Another practical example: For a holiday plan, agents find flights, suggest activities, and summarise hotel reviews to provide a complete, personalised plan.

How it works

After adding a connection to another bot via the bot-to-bot power-up your bot will now be able to delegate questions and tasks to the bot you have connected during conversations.
