Collaboration vs orchestrationWhat it needs to doHow Commonly worksEvaluating a platform
Collaboration is different from orchestration
Orchestration is how a system routes work among agents, such as a supervisor handing a fixed sequence to specialists. Collaboration is the environment around that work: shared context, decisions, owners and handoffs.
What a platform needs to do
Several agents in separate chat windows can speed up research, but it is not a team. Someone still copies requirements, decides who owns the next step and recovers context after a session ends.
Questions
Is a multi-agent collaboration platform the same as an agent framework?
No. An agent framework generally focuses on how an agent is built or orchestrated. A multi-agent collaboration platform focuses on the shared environment where people and agents coordinate.

Build a team, not a pile of chats
The point is not to collect more assistants. It is a team where people and agents decide, own work, keep context and hand off results.
