Agent Orchestration Frameworks (n8n, others)
by n8n and community tools
Platforms and patterns for building, orchestrating, and governing autonomous agents and workflows
Summary
Agent orchestration frameworks let teams coordinate multiple AI agents, tools, and external systems into reliable workflows. n8n is a notable example that combines low-code visual workflows with LLM integrations, subagents, and evaluation tooling suitable for production agent pipelines.
Key capabilities (n8n)
- Visual workflow canvas with triggers, nodes, and tool integrations
- Sub-agents and multi-agent coordination via AI Agent nodes
- Model selection, streaming, and fallback mechanisms
- Support for RAG (vector DB integrations) and MCP servers/clients
- CI/CD-friendly evaluation tooling and human-in-the-loop checkpoints
Superpowers
Make complex multi-step agentic processes auditable, recoverable, and integrable with existing enterprise systems.
Known limitations & notes
- Not all orchestration platforms are identical; choose based on latency, governance, and extensibility needs
- Strands / LiveKit references require additional sources to document specifically
