Designing Your Research Team: Agent Roles and Coordination

Sun, 07 Jun 2026 00:00:00 +0000

Once you decide to use agents for research, the next question is immediate: what should each agent do?

The temptation is to build one big “research agent” that does everything. That is a mistake. A research team is useful precisely because it is specialized. Each agent does one thing well. They coordinate through shared knowledge.

This post is about designing that team: what roles make sense, how they specialize, how they coordinate, and when to merge or split roles.
