Agent teams
An agent can be individual or a team: several agents with different instructions and tools, coordinated by a leader, that solve a task together. Inside a workflow, the Equipos (Teams) group in the Componentes (Components) panel creates a team that is private to that workflow.
Use a team when a single instruction becomes long and contradictory: for example, one agent that classifies, another that drafts, and another that validates. If a single prompt solves it, stay with an individual agent: it's cheaper and easier to debug.
The four patterns
| Pattern | Strategy | How the leader works | Use it when |
|---|---|---|---|
| Trabajo repartido (Split work) | Coordinar (Coordinate) | Splits the request, assigns each part to an agent, and combines everything into a single response. | The task has independent parts (for example, extracting data from different sections of a document). |
| Expertos en el tema (Subject-matter experts) | Enrutar (Route) | Chooses the most suitable agent for the request, and that agent responds directly. | Requests are of different types and a specialist handles each one better (technical support vs. billing). |
| Todos a la vez (All at once) | Difundir (Broadcast) | Sends the same request to all the agents and combines their responses. | You want several perspectives on the same thing (legal, financial, and technical review of a contract). |
| Lista de tareas (Task list) | Tareas (Tasks) | Assigns the tasks in order and uses each result to direct the next one. | The steps depend on each other (research, draft, review). |
Each pattern has a different cost. Todos a la vez multiplies the model calls by the number of agents; Expertos en el tema makes one routing call plus one response call. Check the cost in the workflow's Resumen (Summary) tab before putting it into production.
Team templates
In the Plantillas (Templates) group of the Componentes panel, there are ready-made teams by use case: Soporte a cliente (Customer support), Investigación (Research), Panel multi-área (Multi-area panel), and Pipeline de contenido (Content pipeline). Start from one and adjust each member's instructions.
In the agent list
In version 2.49, the list shows the same AGENT label for individual agents and teams. In the API, the type field tells them apart (single or multiple).
