🧠 Manager Agent in Studio

The Manager Agent architecture in Lyzr allows for modular, composable workflows, where one agent (the manager) coordinates and delegates subtasks to multiple other specialized agents — known as managed agents. This setup enables powerful automations by distributing responsibilities across a team of purpose-built agents.

​
💡 Example Use Case

In a Fitness Assistant agent setup:
  • The main agent generates personalized fitness plans.
  • A managed agent called Mail Generator automatically sends the generated plans to users via email.
This delegation enables better maintainability, modularity, and scalability.

​
🔧 How It Works

​
🖥️ Step 1: Toggle Manager Agent

When creating or editing an agent in Studio, you’ll find an option to enable the Manager Agent capability. Toggling this allows the agent to orchestrate and manage one or more sub-agents as part of its execution logic.

​
🧩 Step 2: Add Managed Agents

Once the toggle is enabled, you can start adding managed agents to the configuration. For each managed agent, provide the following:
  • Agent Name – for easy reference.
  • Usage Description – define when and how the manager should use this agent.
This usage description acts as a system prompt that guides how the Manager Agent interacts with each sub-agent.

​
➕ Step 3: Add Multiple Managed Agents

You can add more than one managed agent. The manager will dynamically select and trigger them based on the conversation context and the logic you’ve described. This allows building multi-step workflows such as:
  • Data extraction → report generation → email dispatch
  • Summarization → notification → feedback logging

​
🧱 JSON Configuration Reference

When exported via API, the managed agents appear in the agent JSON like this: 
"managed_agents": [
  {
    "id": "67f632f43e4bcae4a5cfd109",
    "name": "Mail Generator",
    "usage_description": "Generate a proper diet plan and mail it to the user, whenever the user starts to chat ask for their mail ID 1st"
  }
]
FieldTypeDescription
idstringUnique identifier for the sub-agent (from the Agent Database)
namestringFriendly name for clarity
usage_descriptionstringDetailed instruction to guide invocation logic
