Imagine if Clippy and his AI friends could work together to tackle tasks that were once beyond software’s reach. With multi-agent AI, that vision is becoming a reality.
Agents have been a cornerstone of human-computer interaction for decades, from the friendly Clippy of Microsoft Office fame to auto-suggestions in Google Docs and NPCs in video games. While these early agents hinted at the potential for personalized, goal-oriented interactions, they were limited in their ability to handle higher-level tasks. It’s only with the recent advent of LLMs that the true potential of agents has begun to be realized.
