Why Use Multiple Agents?
Multiple agents provide specialisation, parallelism, redundancy, and scalability that a single agent cannot match.

Benefits of Multi-Agent Architecture
- Specialisation: each agent is given a focused role and system prompt optimised for that role
- Parallelism: independent subtasks run simultaneously, reducing total completion time
- Quality through review: a reviewer agent catches mistakes the worker agent might miss
- Redundancy: if one agent fails, the coordinator can retry or reroute to another agent
- Scalability: add more worker agents to handle higher volumes without changing the coordinator
- Clear accountability: each step has a named agent responsible for it — easier to debug
