Overview
Hierarchical agent orchestration involves organizing multiple agents in structured layers to efficiently handle complex tasks. There are several key architectures available, each with distinct characteristics and use cases.Installation
Architecture Comparison
Core Architectures
Hybrid Hierarchical-Cluster Swarm (HHCS)
Hybrid Hierarchical-Cluster Swarm (HHCS) is an architecture that uses a Router Agent to analyze and distribute tasks to other swarms.- Tasks are routed to specialized swarms based on their requirements
- Enables parallel processing through multiple specialized swarms
- Ideal for complex, multi-domain tasks and enterprise-scale operations
- Provides clear task routing but requires more complex setup
Auto Agent Builder
Auto Agent Builder is a dynamic agent architecture that creates specialized agents on-demand.- Analyzes tasks and automatically builds appropriate agents for the job
- Maintains an agent pool that feeds into task orchestration
- Best suited for evolving requirements and dynamic workloads
- Self-organizing but may have higher resource usage
SwarmRouter
SwarmRouter is a flexible system supporting multiple swarm architectures through a simple interface:- Sequential workflows
- Concurrent workflows
- Hierarchical swarms
- Group chat interactions
- Simpler to configure and deploy compared to other architectures
- Best for general-purpose tasks and smaller scale operations
- Recommended for 5-20 agents
