An orchestra of specialized agents combines planning, a task ledger, delegation, and replanning for long-running, complex goals. Typical conditions for use: Tasks are open-ended, multi-step, and tool-intensive; Multiple specialists must operate with high autonomy over long horizons. The central trade-off: Massive task coverage is gained against exceptionally…

Magentic is a Microsoft Research pattern for generalist multi-agent systems that dynamically assign complex tasks to specialized agents.
Microsoft Research published Magentic-One as a research prototype and technical report in November 2024. An Orchestrator plans tasks, tracks progress, and assigns agents such as WebSurfer or Coder; the pattern continues work on multi-agent systems and tool use.
Imagine a field commander breaking down an ambiguous mission, assigning research and coding to specialists, and checking whether the plan still works. When something fails, the commander replans.
A central role plans, assigns, and monitors the work.
Agents handle tasks such as web research, code, or file processing.
The workflow adapts to progress and failures.
Magentic illustrates how roles and tools can tackle open-ended tasks, while making state monitoring and safety boundaries especially important.
