Microsoft joins multi-AI agent fray with Magnetic-One
The new multi-agent system will go some way toward answering Marc Benioff’s criticism of Microsoft’s existing AI offering: The Salesforce CEO has said, “Copilot is more like Clippy 2.0,” referring to the ill-fated and irritating animated paperclip that once offered assistance on writing a letter in Microsoft Office.
Magnetic-One has a multi-agent architecture in which one agent, the Orchestrator, directs four other agents to solve a given task.
“The Orchestrator plans, tracks progress, and re-plans to recover from errors, while directing specialized agents to perform tasks like operating a web browser, navigating local files, or writing and executing Python code,” the company explained in a blog post.
