AI Agents Part 2: Multi-Agent Orchestration

April 30, 2026 90 min Mike Schwarz

What You'll Learn From This Workshop

What Orchestration Actually Is

True orchestration isn't just running multiple agents in parallel — it's coordinated task handoffs, shared memory, and autonomous workflows that span entire business functions.

Inside MyZone AI's System

A behind-the-scenes look at the real multi-agent architecture running MyZone AI's business — including the decisions, trade-offs, and hard lessons learned building it.

Designing Agent Handoffs

The mechanics of getting agents to pass tasks, context, and outputs to each other cleanly — the foundation of any system that can run without constant human supervision.

The Competitive Moat

Why businesses that figure out orchestration first will be nearly impossible to catch — and the exponential capability gap between single-agent and multi-agent approaches.

Failure Modes & Resilience

What happens when agents loop, disagree, or fail — and the governance patterns, timeout strategies, and escalation protocols that keep orchestrated systems stable.

Your Orchestration Roadmap

A phase-by-phase implementation plan — from your first agent handoff to a fully coordinated AI workforce that handles entire business functions autonomously.

00:00 – 04:00

Welcome & The Explosion of Agents

Market check: Anthropic went from crickets in December to $40B+ ARR by May 2026. Big tech is betting everything on agent compute — and the window for entrepreneurs to get ahead is open right now.

  • Part 1 recap and state of the market
  • Why this moment is different from every AI wave before it
  • The shift from "hiring people" to "managing agent teams"

04:00 – 13:00

The Four Elements of an Agent — Tokens, Credentials & Data

Four layers make up every agent: Tokens (your LLM connection), Credentials (your data systems), the Brain (a local data cache synced via scheduled jobs), and Skills (structured prompts callable by name). These are the building blocks of everything.

  • Tokens: how agents purchase intelligence from LLMs
  • Credentials: connecting Slack, Gmail, Asana, CRM, and 20+ more systems
  • The Brain: why local cached data beats live fetching every time

13:00 – 22:00

Skills & Assembling Your First Agent

A skill is a structured, reusable prompt — stored and callable by name. Bundle 10–15 related skills together, give the package a name, and you've built an agent. Live demo: Mike calls a security agent to audit an attendee's website on the spot.

  • How to build skills vs. sourcing them open-source
  • Bundling skills into named agents: security, design, SEO, and more
  • Live security audit demo — agent delivers a full report in minutes

22:00 – 28:00

Single Agent Workflows: The BlogBot Recipe

Recipes are step-by-step workflows one agent follows, switching skills as it goes. The BlogBot example: 13 steps from brief to published article in 10 minutes. It works — until the context window balloons and token costs climb.

  • What a recipe is and how to build one
  • BlogBot: 13 steps from topic to published article
  • The hidden cost: how context creep erodes quality over time

28:00 – 37:00

True Multi-Agent Orchestration: The Architecture

One project manager agent coordinates a team of specialists — researcher, designer, SEO, CRO, QA. Each starts fresh with a small context window, stays focused on its role, and hands off cleanly to the next. The result: 10x cheaper in tokens, faster, and higher quality.

  • Project manager + specialist agents: how the structure works
  • Parallel execution: spinning up multiple agents simultaneously
  • Clean handoffs: how one agent's output becomes another's input

30:00 – 42:00

Live Demo: Building a Website in Real-Time with Multi-Agent Orchestration

Mike takes LuxDecor.com from an attendee and builds a website live. Researcher, designer, SEO, and CRO agents run in parallel — all feeding into a project manager. Within the session: brand identity docs, competitive audits, wireframes, and a working homepage.

  • Phase 1: Parallel research across industry, competitors, CRO, and SEO
  • Phase 2: Brand identity and design direction from specialist agents
  • Phase 3: Full homepage built and published during the workshop

37:00 – 46:00

Why More is Better: Token Efficiency, Speed & Quality

Single-agent context windows balloon from 5,000 to 200,000+ tokens. Each orchestrated specialist starts fresh at ~5,000. The math: orchestration is 10x cheaper. Parallel execution is faster. Specialists stay focused — so quality is higher too.

  • Token math: context creep vs. fresh-start specialists
  • Speed: parallel agents vs. sequential pipelines
  • Quality: why specialists outperform generalists as complexity grows

51:00 – 90:00

Building Your Orchestration Strategy: Q&A & Roadmap

Q&A covering platform choice, security, and strategy. The consistent message: start with Claude Co-Work, master one agent, then move to orchestration. Mike warns against the wave of self-proclaimed AI experts and stresses keeping your code portable and your systems transparent.

  • Platform paths: Co-Work (safest), open-source, managed agencies
  • Security: why portability and code transparency are non-negotiable
  • The 10x advantage waiting for entrepreneurs who move fast
