Agents

From LLMs to Agent Teams

Agents plan, act with tools, cooperate, and remember. GEORGE keeps them aligned and policy-compliant.

Agent vs. LLM vs. RAG

LLM

Reasoning & generation from training data only.

RAG

Retrieval-augmented: injects fresh, external knowledge.

Agent

Decides, plans, calls tools/APIs, and executes workflows.

Building Blocks

  • Role-playing: Explicit responsibilities per agent.
  • Focus/Tasks: Narrow scope, high reliability.
  • Tools: Custom tools & MCP servers for reuse.
  • Cooperation: Multi-agent collaboration patterns.
  • Guardrails: Validation, limits, fallback/human-in-the-loop.
  • Memory: Short-term, long-term, entity memory.

GEORGE (Orchestrator) — Overview

GEORGE translates user intents into coordinated multi-agent plans, governs tool access, enforces guardrails, and maintains memory across flows.

Task Orchestration

Breaks down intents, assigns to domain agents, tracks completion.

Policy & Guardrails

Constraints for cost/safety/data; human-in-the-loop when needed.

Tool & Memory

Registers MCP tools, rate-limits usage; shares scoped context.

Agent of the Week

#1

Root Cause Agent

Detects quality patterns and proposes corrective actions with expected yield impact.
