Orchestrator — AI Glossary
An LLM or framework component managing the overall flow of a multi-agent system: delegating tasks, routing results, and synthesizing final outputs.
Overview
Orchestrators (LangGraph StateGraph, CrewAI Manager, AutoGen GroupChatManager) decompose goals into tasks, assign tasks to worker agents, collect and validate results, and handle failures (retry, fallback, human escalation). The orchestrator pattern separates task routing logic from task execution, enabling modular agent architectures.
