​
Overview

The Agent Swarm Node enables multiple AI agents to work together collaboratively to solve complex tasks. This node allows you to:

  • Configure multiple specialized agents with different capabilities
  • Define an initial agent to start the conversation
  • Allow agents to hand off tasks to other agents based on their expertise
  • Create complex workflows where agents collaborate to achieve a goal

​
Configuration Parameters

The Agent Swarm Node requires configuration of multiple agents that will work together in the swarm. Each agent can be configured independently with its own settings and capabilities.

​
Node Configuration

  • Query:

    Specify the task or question for the swarm to handle. For example,

    Given this email: , identify if it is asking for availability. Look at my calendar to check for my availability and provide timeslots to respond to the email.

    Given a contact, conduct web search on the person, and then draft a personalized outreach email to …

  • Agents

    Configure multiple agents that will participate in the swarm. For each agent, you can:

    • Set a custom display name
    • Designate it as the initial agent
    • Configure agent-specific settings and tools
    • Define the agent’s role and capabilities
    Choose the initial agent carefully as it will be responsible for starting the conversation and delegating tasks to other agents.

​
Expected Inputs and Outputs

  • Inputs:

    • The node accepts input data that can be referenced in the query using format strings.

  • Outputs:

    • output: The final result produced by the swarm
    • conversation: A detailed log of the conversation between agents, showing how they collaborated to reach the solution

​
Use Case Examples

  1. Complex Problem Solving:

    Configure multiple agents with different expertise to break down and solve complex problems. Each agent can handle specific aspects of the problem based on their specialized knowledge.

  2. Multi-perspective Analysis:

    Use different agents to analyze the same problem from various angles, providing a comprehensive understanding of the situation.

  3. Collaborative Content Creation:

    Set up agents with different writing styles and expertise to collaboratively create content, with each agent contributing their specialized knowledge.

​
Error Handling and Troubleshooting

  • Agent Configuration:

    Make sure each agent in the swarm is properly configured with appropriate settings and tools for their intended role.

  • Max Steps Exceeded:

    If the swarm is not reaching a conclusion, you may need to increase the max_steps parameter or optimize the agent configurations.
