Design Exercise: Content Production System
Design a multi-agent system for an automated content production pipeline.
The goal: given a topic, the system should:
1. Research the topic
2. Generate an outline
3. Write the full article
4. Fact-check the claims
5. Edit for style and clarity
6. Publish to the content management system
For your design, define:
- 1Agent roster: what agents do you need? What is each agent's name, role, and speciality?
- 2Tool allocation: what tools does each agent have?
- 3Communication flow: draw the message flow between agents (who talks to whom)
- 4Sequential vs parallel: which steps can run in parallel? Which must be sequential?
- 5Failure handling: what happens if the fact-checker fails?
- 6Human approval: where do you insert a human approval gate?
- 7Maximum iteration rules: what happens if the reviewer keeps rejecting the article?
