Overview

A fleet of agents can save time and generate useful options, but it should not be treated as an unquestionable strategic authority.

Several limitations remain:

  • Many agents may repeat the same weak assumption.
  • Outliers may be hallucinations.
  • A debate can become confident without having enough evidence.
  • More agents increase token costs.
  • Poorly chosen roles can create artificial disagreement instead of useful challenge.
  • The synthesis can distort or oversimplify the individual analyses.

The practical use is to trade some money for a large amount of analytical coverage. The output should be treated as a structured set of hypotheses, tests, and candidate decisions. High-impact decisions still require judgment.
