What is an agent fleet, and how is it different from an agent team?

How it works

A single agent does one job. An agent team is a group of specialists around one function, each with a job title. A fleet adds the supervisor and the number. The supervisor splits the goal into jobs, the specialists do the steps in your tools, and the supervisor checks progress and changes the next step.

What a person keeps

You decide where a person is needed: sending to a customer, spending money, changing a record or merging code. While a step waits for you, the fleet carries on with the rest of the work.

What to watch for

A fleet without a number is a team. A fleet with three numbers is three fleets. Pick one number the team can move within a month.

An example

Lua’s Engineering Fleet owns “serious issues fixed within a day”. A Reliability Engineer agent fixes the most frequent errors, a Code Reviewer reviews every pull request within minutes, and the Engineering Manager agent routes the merges that need an engineer to Tom.

Example data is invented unless a customer is named.
