SB06: Multi-Agent System Design + Orchestration Breakdown

This is a real system designed to run, not a demo.
We built a multi-agent architecture to operate a real-world service business.

🧠 The Problem

Managing a field service operation sounds simple...until you scale:

• Multiple technicians
• Dynamic routes
• Customer communication
• Missed stops / edge cases
• Billing + tracking

Traditional tools break down fast.

🧱 System Overview

At a high level, the system is composed of:

• Orchestrator → coordinates all agent activity
• Field Agents → handle execution (routes, stops, issues)
• Customer Layer → communication and updates
• System Logic Layer → rules, constraints, and validation

Everything runs through structured flows, not ad hoc prompts.

🔄 What we mean by “Contracts”

In this system, a contract defines:

• What an agent is allowed to do
• When it is allowed to act
• What inputs it receives
• What outputs it must produce

Think of it as:

>a controlled interface between agents

This prevents:

• unpredictable behavior
• conflicting actions
• system drift

🔁 Orchestration Flow (Simplified)

1. Route is generated
2. Stops are assigned
3. Field agent executes stops
4. Issues are flagged in real time
5. Orchestrator adjusts system state
6. Customer updates are triggered

Everything is tracked and reversible.

⚠️ Where things break (and why it matters)

Real systems fail in edge cases:

• Locked gates
• Aggressive animals
• Missed visits
• Delayed routes

Instead of failing silently, the system:

• flags the issue
• logs context
• routes decision-making back through the orchestrator

📊 Why this matters

Most “AI systems”:

• generate outputs
• look impressive
• fail in real-world execution

This system:

• operates under constraints
• handles failure states
• produces consistent outcomes

• routing logic
• technician workflows
• system state tracking

Final note

Next: Workflow, how this system actually runs (route execution, stop lifecycle).
Questions welcome...focus on system design or behavior.
