Agency Swarm
Multi-agent orchestration framework built on the OpenAI Agents SDK. Define agent roles, typed tools, and directional communication flows. Production-focused, open-source.
Agency Swarm is an open-source Python framework for building multi-agent applications that extends the OpenAI Agents SDK. You define distinct agent roles (CEO, Virtual Assistant, Developer) with tailored instructions, tools, and capabilities. Communication flows are directional, with an explicit graph defining which agents can initiate conversations with which others. The typed tools, deterministic message routing, and clean inter-agent communication make it easier to debug, monitor, and audit than conversation-based frameworks. Production teams report fewer agent-went-off-the-rails incidents compared to alternatives like AutoGen. Created by VRSEN (Arsenii Shatokhin), it focuses on what actually matters in production: reliability and predictability.
