#4054 Describe how to apply multiple AI agents in an AI Studio build

Applying multiple AI agents in a Google AI Studio build (primarily utilizing the Agent Development Kit (ADK) and the latest Gemini 2.0/3 models) allows you to move from a single "generalist" bot to a modular "team" of specialists. This architecture is particularly effective for complex tasks where a single prompt would likely lose focus or fail to follow strict technical standards.

1. The Multi-Agent Architecture

The most effective way to apply multiple agents is the Coordinator-Specialist (or Hub-and-Spoke) model. Instead of one agent trying to do everything, you create a hierarchy:

  • The Root Agent (The Coordinator): This is the entry point for the user. Its primary role is to interpret intent and delegate the task to the correct specialist.

  • Specialist Agents (The Workers): These agents have narrow instructions and specific tools (e.g., a "Hazard Analysis Agent" or a "Code Review Agent").


2. Implementation Steps via ADK

In the current AI Studio ecosystem, multi-agent systems are typically defined programmatically or through the Agent Designer interface.

A. Define Specialist Roles

Start by creating instances of LlmAgent. Each must have a very clear description because the LLM uses these descriptions to decide where to route a user's request.

Agent NameRoleSpecific Instruction Example
SafetyAnalystSafety & Mission Assurance"Analyze software requirements against NPR 7150.2 standards."
DocGeneratorDocumentation"Format technical findings into a NASA-standard report template."
SearchAgentData Retrieval"Query the internal knowledge graph for existing hazard reports."

B. Build the Root Coordinator

The Root Agent acts as the manager. In your build, you pass the specialists into the sub_agents parameter of the Root Agent.

Key Concept: When the Root Agent detects a specialized query (e.g., "Check this code for safety violations"), it "transfers" the conversation state to the SafetyAnalyst.

C. Set Delegation Rules

Delegation is driven by Natural Language Descriptions. If your SafetyAnalyst has a description like "Expert in NASA software safety standards and hazard analysis," the coordinator will automatically trigger it when those keywords or contexts appear in the user's prompt.


3. Orchestrating Workflows

For more advanced "Builds," you can move beyond simple routing to Workflow Agents.

  • Sequential Workflows: Agent A finishes a task (e.g., "Drafting") and automatically passes the output to Agent B ("Reviewing").

  • Parallel Workflows: Multiple agents work on the same problem simultaneously (e.g., one checking for "Performance" and another for "Security") and then merge their results.


4. Best Practices for Your Build

  • Domain Isolation: Don't let your specialists "leak" into each other's territory. If an agent is meant for hazard analysis, don't give it tools for UI design. This keeps the token usage efficient and reduces hallucinations.

  • Explicit "Hand-back": Ensure your specialist agents are instructed to "Return to coordinator" once their specific task is complete.

  • Use Tools as Bridges: Equip your agents with shared tools (like a USB-attached drive or a Knowledge Graph API) so they can access a "single source of truth" without having to pass massive amounts of text back and forth.
