The bottleneck in multi-agent AI systems isn't raw capability—it's orchestration. As enterprises deploy more specialized AI agents across workflows, they discover that agent proliferation creates coordination overhead and failure modes (conflicting instructions, duplicate work, deadlocked dependencies) that single powerful agents or human teams don't have. The winners will be whoever solves agent governance—explicit handoff protocols, conflict resolution, and unified context management—rather than whoever builds the most agents.
