Multi-Agent Software Engineering: Can AI Teams Build Production Systems?

Large language models have evolved from simple chat interfaces into autonomous systems capable of planning, reasoning, and interacting with external tools. The next stage of this evolution is multi-agent software engineering, where specialized AI agents collaborate to solve complex business workflows instead of relying on a single monolithic model. A planner may decompose work, researcher agents retrieve enterprise knowledge, coding agents generate implementations, reviewer agents validate outputs, and execution agents perform approved actions.
