Definition
Multi-Agent Engineering is the practice of organizing engineering work across multiple specialized AI agents — each with clear objectives, responsibilities, inputs, outputs, and boundaries — instead of relying on one general-purpose AI to perform every task, while humans remain responsible for orchestration and governance.
Why It Matters
No engineer is equally specialized in every discipline, and the same is true of AI. During the SolOh ERP Modernization, specialized agents produced higher-quality results than a single general-purpose AI, provided their work was coordinated through shared context and clear role boundaries rather than overlapping responsibility.
