How we built our multi-agent research system \ Anthropic
Our Research feature uses multiple Claude agents to explore complex topics more effectively. We share the engineering challenges and the lessons we learned from building this system. Claude now has Research capabilities that allow it to search across the web, Google Workspace, and any integrations to accomplish complex tasks. The journey of this multi-agent system from prototype to production taught us critical lessons about system architecture, tool design, and prompt engineering. A multi-agent system consists of multiple agents (LLMs autonomously using tools in a loop) working together. Our Research feature involves an agent that plans a research process based on user queries, and then uses tools to create parallel agents that search for information simultaneously. Systems with multiple agents introduce new challenges in agent coordination, evaluation, and reliability. This post breaks down the principles that worked for us—we hope you'll find them useful to apply when building your
