A specialized agent handles a focused domain within a coordinated AI system. Separating search, policy knowledge, and vision processing avoids asking one agent to manage every capability; an orchestrator routes work and combines results into a coherent response. section 8.0 section 8.1.1
A customer-support system can divide responsibilities among:
- A SearchAgent that finds and filters products. section 8.1.1
- A PolicyAgent that answers business-rule and customer-service questions. section 8.1.1
- A vision-based agent that processes product images; an orchestrator selects agents and coordinates their results. section 8.0 section 8.1.7
A multipart customer request
A customer shares a hiking-boot photo, asks for a similar waterproof product, and asks about returns. The system can route image understanding, product search, and policy retrieval to focused agents, then synthesize one response. section 8.0
