Automated Multi-Agent Organization Design: From Architecture Search to Organizational Learning

To explore this, we propose Automated Multi-Agent Organization Design (AMOD), which treats organization itself as a first-class design object, explicitly modeling how agent teams are composed, what functional responsibilities the agents assume, how they coordinate, and how collective decisions are made.

Key points

  • Agentic system design is increasingly shifting from hand-crafted prompts and workflows toward automated search over agentic programs and interaction structures, with multi-agent systems receiving growing attention.
  • Yet a central question remains unresolved: when does an automatically generated multi-agent structure exhibit a functionally meaningful division of responsibility?
  • We argue that automated multi-agent design should move beyond searching for effective architectures toward identifying which responsibilities are functionally necessary, how they should be allocated, and when they should change.
  • AMOD provides a principled foundation for evidence-based and adaptive multi-agent organization design.
