Introduction
Building multi-agent pipelines without becoming overwhelmed by YAML files or extensive configuration scripts. Unreal, huh?
AI agents have exploded into widespread adoption in the past year tools such as Auto-GPT, AgentGPT, and LangGraph now assist many functions, including code creation and customer assistance. When it comes to planning, thinking, and using tools, these tools automate the process.
Agents have evolved from a specialized use to an important component, used by AI researchers for automated experimentation and developers for constructing multi-step LLM chains.
Limitations of Traditional Engineering
Significant engineering overhead is associated with customized pipelines.
API integrations that are fragile and fragmented.
Manual orchestration that fails to scale.
Lack of inherent observability or version control for agent executions.
Challenging debugging and rapid iteration cycles.
Future AGI provides an evaluation and optimisation layer for rapidly experimenting with multi-agent workflows. The focus is on fast prototyping, side-by-side experimentation, and data-driven optimisation in a single interface, rather than full production hosting of every agent component.
In this post we’ll show how Future AGI’s modules for synthetic dataset creation, experiment runs, evaluation, intuitive dashboards, and prompt optimization let developers iterate on complex multi-agent chains with far less upfront engineering.
Concepts of Multi-Agent Orchestration
Multi-agent orchestration serves as the foundation for scalable, automated AI systems built with interconnected AI agents.
3.1 What Is an AI Agent?
An AI agent is an autonomous entity driven by a large language model (such as GPT or Claude) that can process information, engage in independent reasoning, and execute actions that achieve designated objectives. As needed, it can gather data, make decisions, and apply tools or APIs. These agents are flexible; they can be included into a more extensive system and assigned different roles. They help to complete a bigger artificial intelligence process, acting as little artificial intelligence employees.
3.2 Workflow Topologies
Multiple AI agents can communicate with each other in different ways. Some of methods are:
Linear Chains: One agent sends data in turn to the next agent. Perfect for jobs including sentiment analysis, answer generation, and summarizing with well defined processes.
Parallel Branches: Several agents interact at once using the same input. This is helpful when rapidity or different points of view are needed, such as creating several summaries or verifying responses.
Hierarchical Orchestration: A lead agent assigns work to other agents. Perfect for complex tasks in which a single agent develops the plan and then distributes tasks (e.g., a planner-executor paradigm).
3.3 Key Agent Roles
In a multi-agentic framework, different agents play various roles. Some agents are experts at analysing data, while others can perform certain tasks. Example of what different agents can do:
Data Ingestion: These agents control APIs, web scraping, file parsing, or uploading, including either structured or unstructured data into the system for use by other agents.
Reasoning & Planning: Agents that create steps, divide work, and design strategies. The core of the system is what coordinates other parts and controls dynamic problem-solving.
Action Execution: These agents use tools like web browsers or databases, call external APIs, start automation e.g., Slack notifications, Google Sheets updates or control tools.
Feedback Evaluation: In looping systems, these agents assess the performance of other agents and decide whether the work should be retried, redirected, or deemed complete.
Future AGI Architecture & Core Modules

Datasets
The Datasets module of Future AGI provides comprehensive control over synthetic data generation and administration, enabling the development, refinement, and enhancement of datasets for agent testing and training. The platform enables the uploading of structured files or unstructured data (CSV/JSON) and the generation of synthetic data to address edge situations and infrequent occurrences. To assess agent logic under stress, the synthetic data generator can create large numbers of varied examples including adversarial or boundary inputs.
In a multi-agent context, the Datasets module is crucial for creating test cases that validate the entire agentic workflow, not just a single model. You can generate data such that multiple agents are invoked in your setup and evaluate how each of them are performing. You can generate complex scenarios to test handoffs between a planner agent and an executor agent or create data that simulates multi-turn tool usage. This ensures your evaluation covers the collaboration and communication between agents.
Synthetic data generation: Create instantly varied instances with automatic customization of data.
Static columns: Keep unchangeable information in stationary columns including category designations.
Dynamic columns: Using Python, APIs, SQL or dynamic columns, compute values in real-time.
Experiment
The Experiment module offers a no-code, visual tool for running several pipeline versions concurrently and ranking the best performers. The approach is evaluation driven, you set concurrent executions on your datasets and create quick setups (inputs, model parameters, retrieval settings). The interactive dashboard shows results that let one instantly compare metrics including latency and accuracy. Reducing human error from the manual setup and result recording process accelerates iteration by means of experimentation. Use it for model iterations, fast changes, A/B testing on non-scripted retrieval methods or model changes without scripting needed.
For multi-agent systems, the Experiment module allows you to A/B test different orchestration strategies, like comparing a linear agent chain against a hierarchical one. You can define variants where one agent's model is swapped (e.g., GPT-5 for planning vs. Claude 3 for execution) and run them on the same dataset. The platform then identifies which complete agentic workflow, or "variant," performs best on your target metrics.
Parallel variant launches: Start several configurations with one action simultaneously.
Evaluation-driven selection: The dashboard shows the most successful pairings (Winner)of models and prompts.
Evaluate
Evaluation is based on custom and patented measures customized for your individual use case accuracy, response time, toxicity, or industry-specific safety indicators. The Evaluate module of Future AGI enables the definition or importation of metrics (e.g., JSON validity, translation accuracy) and enables batch or single-input assessments via the UI or SDK. By merging with Open Telemetry (OTEL), which logs exact traces and spans, you can uncover pipeline performance issues or safety breaches. Whether you must enforce sub-second latency SLAs or prevent high-toxicity outputs, evaluation simplifies the measuring and monitoring of every agent interaction.
When evaluating multi-agent pipelines, the Evaluate module moves beyond single-output scores to assess the entire chain's performance. Using OTEL traces, you can pinpoint exactly which agent in the workflow is causing latency, hallucinations, or errors. This allows you to create specific metrics for each agent's role, such as the planner's output validity or the executor's tool-use accuracy.
Improve
The Improve (Optimization) module completes the cycle by utilizing evaluative input to autonomously enhance prompts or agent parameters. You can plan multiple sets of optimizations using the Python SDK or UI. Then, compare data from before and after to confirm gains. This ensures the continual evolution of your pipelines, maintaining alignment with your quality and efficiency objectives.
The Improve module is especially powerful for multi-agent systems, where a failure in one agent can cascade through the entire workflow. By analyzing evaluation feedback, the system can automatically suggest optimizations for the specific prompt of a failing agent for example, refining the instructions for a "reasoning" agent if it consistently produces flawed plans. This closed-loop process ensures that the entire collaborative system evolves and improves, not just isolated components.
Monitor & Protect
The Monitor and Protect tools make sure that infrastructure is reliable and safe in real time once pipelines go live. Observe offers real-time dashboards displaying throughput, error rates, and tailored alarms (e.g., increases in failure rates), all supported by OTEL-powered instrumentation. Protect implements safeguards on each API call, scrutinizing for detrimental content—such as prompt injection or GDPR infringements and executing fallback measures with latency under 100 milliseconds. Teams could customize safety rules or instantly change policies to make sure agents follow evolving criteria without resorting to code redeployment.
In production, the Monitor and Protect modules provide observability for the entire multi-agent system, not just individual API calls. You can track the end-to-end latency and success rate of your agentic workflows and set alerts for when a specific agent becomes a bottleneck or starts to fail. The guardrails can be applied at critical handoff points between agents, ensuring that a rogue agent doesn't pass harmful or non-compliant output to the next step in the chain.
Real-time insights: Track production statistics and alerts on dashboards in real time.
Adaptive guardrails: Real-time, low delay intercept or signal dangerous outputs.
Policy changes: Change safety criteria on demand without calling for reallocation of resources.
Experimentation & A/B Testing for Agents
5.1 Hypothesis Formulation
Create a control workflow that serves as your baseline pipeline and an experimental workflow which includes the modification you wish to test. This way, you can be confident that you are measuring the influence of your variable accurately.
Use the visual builder to designate each pipeline version as “control” or “treatment,” enabling straightforward filtering and comparison of results.
5.2 Parallel Variant Execution
Use Future AGI's evaluate to run several pipeline versions concurrently to ensure that every runs on the same dataset segment for fair comparison.
Maximize performance and resource use by including in the user interface batch size and execution windows. This will stop endpoint overload at peak operation.
5.3 Metrics Dashboard
Review side-by-side comparative charts for important dashboard indicators—accuracy, latency, safety tags—each figure updates in real time at run completion.
5.4 Automated Winner Selection
Use the "Identify the Winner" option to automatically promote the version that best fits your defined success criteria, saving time and effort when compared to human analysis.
Create automated threshold alerts to guarantee Future AGI alerts you when a treatment pipeline crosses the control by a specified margin, triggering additional deployment or modification activities.
Evaluation & Root Cause Analysis
6.1 OTEL-Based Eval Tags
The agent uses the framework-specific instrumentor, which automatically generates spans for every LLM request and response.
Assign custom evaluation tags (e.g., response_quality="low") to spans to help with filtering and grouping of traces based on performance or safety results.
Enable the export of traces through the OTEL Collector to Future AGI’s backend, which gives complete understanding from API invocation to metric assessment.
6.2 Multi-Modal Evaluations
Before evaluation, Future AGI standardises inputs to a consistent schema; create unified evaluation tasks combining text, images, audio, and video into a single pipeline.
Use creative deep multi-modal benchmarks to evaluate model performance across many platforms, so ensuring the absence of blind spots in your agents.
Automatically annotate outputs (e.g., transcribe audio, extract frames) to ensure that all modalities use consistent metrics such accuracy, BLEU, or custom safety tags.
6.3 Failure Mode Diagnostics
Analyzing OTEL spans helps one to find latency bottlenecks, whether the delay happens during retrieval, model inference, or post-processing.
Automated truth-checking LLMs or evaluation scripts comparing outputs to ground truth can detect hallucinations by labeling spans when variations arise.
Identify safety violations (e.g., hazardous content, personal identifiable information leaks) by real-time policy assessments, subsequently tracing back over spans to ascertain the specific prompt or agent parameter accountable.
6.4 Visual Performance Insights
Use interactive visualizations that connect data (accuracy against latency) across agent versions—zoom in on outliers or patterns with a single click.
Examine high-level dashboards to get trace-linked information, transitioning from a deficient measure directly to the OTEL span details for root-cause investigation.
Export visual reports as shareable PDFs or integrate through API into Slack and Jira, enabling teams to promptly act on insights.
