Multi-Agent System
An architecture where multiple AI agents collaborate, each with its own role, tools, and wallet, to accomplish complex tasks.
A multi-agent system is an architecture where multiple specialized AI agents work together on complex workflows. For example: one agent researches, another writes, another reviews, another publishes. In Mithril, each agent in a multi-agent system gets its own wallet with individual spending limits, drawing from a shared team credit line. This provides per-agent cost tracking, independent freeze controls, and clear audit trails. The billing dashboard shows spend broken down by agent, making it easy to identify which agents are cost-effective.
