Managing context in long-run agentic applications

Excerpt

In complex, long-running agentic systems, maintaining alignment and coherent reasoning between agents requires careful design. In this second article of our series, we explore these challenges and the mechanisms we built to keep teams of agents working productively over long time spans. We present a range of complementary techniques that balance the conflicting requirements of continuity and creativity.

In our first article, we introduced our agentic security investigation service. We described how teams of AI agents collaboratively investigate security alerts. A Director orchestrates the investigation, many specialist Experts gather evidence, and a Critic reviews the Experts’ findings. We suggest you read the series in order.
