Dr. Violet Howard shows how to build a multi-agent system in n8n without code. A parent orchestrator agent takes a user request via Telegram or email, then delegates tasks to specialized child agents for contacts, content creation, calendar scheduling, and email. A live demo shows it handling a compound request: write a blog post about dogs, email it to Dexter Morgan, and schedule dinner with Michael Scott at 6 PM.
This is how I build multi-agent systems in NN with no code. So a multi-agent system is one where we have multiple autonomous AI agents working together in order to get the job done, and they're able to talk to each other and they're able to use the tools that they have access to. What we're going to be talking about today is a type of multi-agent system called the orchestrator architecture. And basically what that means is that we have one agent up here. I call it the parent agent, and then I call these child agents, but we have an orchestrator agent that's able to call on different subagents. And the best way to think about it is this agent's only goal is to understand the intent of the user, whether that's through Telegram or through email, whatever it is, understanding that intent and then understanding, okay, I have access to these 4 agents and here is what each one is good at. Which one or which ones do I need to call in order to actually achieve the end goal? So in this case, if I'm saying to the agent, can you please write me a quick blog post about dogs and send that to Dexter Morgan? And can you also create a dinner event for tonight at 6:00 PM with Michael Scott? And thank you. Cool. So this is a pretty loaded task, right? And can you imagine if this one agent had access to all of these, like 15 or however many tools, and it had to do all of that itself? It would be pretty overwhelmed and it wouldn't be able to do it very accurately. So what you can see here is it is able to just understand, okay, I have these 4 agents. They each have a different role. Which ones do I need to call? And you can see what it's doing is it called the contact agent to get the contact information. Right now it's calling the content creator agent. And now that that's finished up, it's probably gonna call the Calendar agent to make that event. And then it's gonna call the Email agent in order to actually send that blog that we had the Content Creator agent make. And then you can see it also called this little tool down here called Think. But we just got a response back from the Orchestrator agent, so let's see what it said. All right, so it said the blog post about dogs has been sent to Dexter Morgan. A dinner event for tonight at 6:00 PM with Michael Scott has been created. And if you need anything else, let me know. And just to verify that that actually went through, you can see we have a new event for dinner at 6:00 PM with Michael Scott. And then in our email, in our Sent, we can see that we have a full blog post sent to Dexter Morgan.
