A superagent is an orchestrator that routes user requests to specialist agents, each handling a specific topic. Instead of overloading one agent with conflicting instructions, this approach combines multiple AI assistants into a single seamless experience that delivers the right answer reliably.

So what is a super agent? Let's get into it. A super agent is an agent that can take in a request from a user and orchestrate a number of specialist agents in order to get a wealth of different topics answered with the right specialist agent able to give the proper response. So when you think about building agents, right, we get really good at building a single agent and we're all very happy about what it can do. And it's very natural for us to want to expand the set of capabilities that that agent can take care of. However, that's kind of an anti-pattern. Ultimately, what ends up happening is the agent can get confused with too many instructions, too many things it's trying to work on. What makes a super agent different is that it combines all of those AI assistants, all of those agents into one experience so that it's all at your fingertips and ready to give you the answer that you need.
