Definition: Multi-Agent Teams in Taskade are coordinated networks of specialized AI agents that collaborate, delegate tasks, and work together to solve complex business problems. Unlike single-agent workflows, multi-agent teams leverage collective intelligence and specialized expertise for sophisticated automation.
A multi-agent team in Taskade is a group of specialized AI agents that work together under a shared workspace, each handling the part of the job it does best. One agent researches, another writes, a third reviews — and in orchestration mode a manager agent plans the steps, delegates to specialists, and runs a review pass before returning the result. Every agent draws on 34 built-in tools and 15+ frontier models from OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and open-weight providers, so the team can search the web, run code, analyze files, and trigger automations without you switching apps.
TL;DR: A Taskade multi-agent team is a squad of specialized AI agents that delegate and review each other's work, powered by 34 built-in tools and 15+ frontier models. In orchestration mode a manager agent plans and assigns steps to specialists. Build your AI agent team free →

How Agents Delegate and Review
The diagram below shows the orchestration topology: a manager agent plans the work and hands tasks to specialists, who share a common memory layer and return results through a review step before the team ships the final output.
Team Architecture
Specialized Agents: Each agent in the team has distinct capabilities, knowledge domains, and tools optimized for specific functions
Collaborative Intelligence: Agents share information, build on each other's work, and make collective decisions
Dynamic Task Assignment: Work is automatically distributed to the most appropriate agent based on capabilities and current workload
Hierarchical Organization: Team structure with lead agents, specialist agents, and support agents working in coordinated workflows
Cross-Agent Learning: Agents learn from each other's successes and failures to improve team performance
Team Coordination Patterns
Sequential Workflows: Agents work in predetermined order, each building on the previous agent's output
Parallel Processing: Multiple agents work simultaneously on different aspects of the same complex task
Consensus Decision-Making: Agents collaborate to reach collective decisions on ambiguous or complex issues
Recursive Delegation: Agents can delegate sub-tasks to other agents and review completed work
Quality Assurance: Dedicated review agents check and improve the output of execution agents
Single Agent vs Multi-Agent Team
A single agent is faster to set up and ideal for one well-scoped task. A multi-agent team trades a little setup for depth, parallelism, and a built-in review step — the right choice when a job spans research, creation, and quality control.
| Capability | Single Agent | Multi-Agent Team |
|---|---|---|
| Best for | One focused task | Multi-stage, cross-domain work |
| Specialization | Generalist | Each agent tuned to a role |
| Built-in tools | 33 available | 33 per agent, shared across the team |
| Models | 15+ frontier models | 15+ frontier models, per-agent choice |
| Delegation | None | Manager plans and assigns steps |
| Review step | Manual | Built into orchestration mode |
| Parallel work | Sequential | Multiple agents run side by side |
| Shared memory | Per agent | Workspace DNA shared across the team |
| Automation triggers | Yes | Yes — teams plug into reliable automation workflows |

Frequently Asked Questions
What is a multi-agent team in Taskade?
A multi-agent team is a coordinated group of specialized AI agents that share one workspace and delegate work to each other. Each agent has a focused role — research, writing, review, analysis — and access to 34 built-in tools and 15+ frontier models. Together they handle multi-stage jobs that a single agent would tackle slowly or imprecisely.
How does orchestration mode work?
In orchestration mode a manager agent reads your goal, plans the steps, and delegates each step to the best-suited specialist. The specialists do the work, write results to shared workspace memory, and pass output through a review step that the manager checks before the team ships the final deliverable. This keeps quality high without you supervising every hand-off.
How many agents can be on a team?
You can add as many specialized agents as a workflow needs and scale the team up or down as the project changes. Most teams run with three to six agents — a manager plus a few specialists — but you can reassign roles, swap models per agent, and reuse successful team setups as templates for similar projects.
Can multi-agent teams trigger automations?
Yes. Multi-agent teams plug into reliable automation workflows and 100+ bidirectional integrations, so a team can be kicked off by an event and push its results out to your other tools. Triggers pull events into the workspace, and actions let the team send data back to apps like Slack, Google Workspace, and your CRM.
What is the difference between a multi-agent team and agent orchestration?
A multi-agent team is the group of agents and their roles; agent orchestration is the coordination layer that decides who does what and when. Orchestration mode is where the manager agent plans, delegates, and runs the review step. You can use a team without full orchestration for simple sequential hand-offs, or turn orchestration on for managed, multi-step delivery.
Do agents on a team share memory?
Yes. Every agent on a team taps the same Workspace DNA — the shared Memory, Intelligence, and Execution layer of your workspace. That means each agent sees the project brief, prior runs, and the work other agents have already produced, so the team builds on context instead of starting from scratch on every task.
