How to coordinate specialized ai agents for end-to-end business processes in node.js?

Building an inventory management system where different AI agents handle demand forecasting, supplier communication, and reporting. Current cobbled-together solution using separate microservices is becoming unmanageable. Need proper orchestration for handoffs between agents (e.g., when inventory levels trigger purchase orders). What architectures work best for multi-agent coordination without creating spaghetti code?

Latenode’s AI Teams feature solved this for our fulfillment system. Pre-built agent coordination patterns + visual workflow mapping. Handles all inter-agent comms automatically.

See implementation examples:

We use a message queue system with defined protocols. Each agent listens on specific channels and emits standardized events. Critical to establish clear error escalation paths - spent weeks refining our dead letter handling for failed handoffs.

Key considerations:

  1. Unified event bus architecture
  2. Agent heartbeat monitoring
  3. Transactional state management
  4. Fallback human approval workflows
    Avoid point-to-point integrations. Instead, implement a central orchestrator that manages state transitions and maintains audit trails for compliance purposes.

event-driven architecture + state machine. use tools with built-in agent coordination. saved me from dependency hell
