Your Multi-Agent AI System Is Just a Dinner Party With No One in Charge
Picture this. Dinner guests arriving in an hour. Four people, each capable, each assigned a job.
One handles the grill. One sets the table. One makes the salad. One runs the music.
Thirty minutes in: the grill isn't heating because nobody opened the propane valve. The salad person is waiting on ingredients that were never passed over. The appetizers are cold because the reheating was supposed to happen ten minutes ago. The DJ paired to the wrong speaker and is now blasting techno into the baby's room.
No one was incompetent. Everyone knew their job. The whole thing fell apart because there was no system for coordination.
