Working alone works . . . until it doesn’t.

We’ve seen how individual agents can accomplish a lot when equipped with the right tools. But what if we took that concept further—beyond a single agent managing many tools—to a dynamic team of agents, each specialized, collaborating to solve complex problems together? This is the concept of building agentic structures instead of individual agents, and that’s what this chapter is all about.

From solo agents to agentic structures

Modern work is built on specialization. In companies, tasks are distributed across departments and roles to maximize efficiency, foster skill development, and avoid duplication of work. Asking everyone to do everything would limit both effectiveness and growth—hence the need to split work across specialized workers.
