Manager Agent

​

Overview

​

Key Responsibilities

1. Task Decomposition
   • Analyzes the incoming goal or request to identify discrete subtasks.
   • Maps each subtask to the most appropriate worker agent or tool.
2. Dynamic Dispatch
   • Invokes child agents or connectors based on task requirements.
   • Supports branching logic and conditional execution.
3. Monitoring & Control
   • Tracks execution status, results, and metrics for each subtask.
   • Handles retries, error fallback, and alternative strategies when tasks fail.
4. Context Management
   • Maintains shared context and memory across all subtasks.
   • Aggregates outputs into a cohesive final response.

​

Benefits

• Adaptability: Automatically adjusts workflow steps based on live data or unexpected outcomes.
• Resilience: Retries or reroutes tasks upon failures, ensuring end-to-end completion.
• Scalability: Distributes work across multiple agents, optimizing throughput and resource utilization.
• Transparency: Provides real-time logs and audit trails at each orchestration level.

​

Typical Use Cases

• AI SDR (Sales Development Representative): Manager Agent qualifies leads, schedules meetings, and routes data to CRM and calendar services.
• Autonomous Research Assistant: Decomposes research goals into literature search, data extraction, summarization, and report generation.
• Multi-Channel Customer Support: Dynamically selects channels (chatbot, email, SMS) and worker agents based on user preferences and message content.

​

Best Practices

• Define Clear Subtasks: Craft precise prompts for task decomposition to minimize ambiguity.
• Limit Task Granularity: Avoid overly fine-grained subtasks that increase orchestration overhead.
• Implement Fallbacks: Preconfigure alternative paths or default responses for unrecoverable errors.
• Monitor KPIs: Track success rate, latency, and resource usage for continuous optimization.
