Question

Is a multi-agent system needed for a performance-review AI agent?

Answered from AI Interview #9 - Why is the Agent so slow? · Gaurav Sen · 2026-10-16

No, according to Tanishk in Gaurav Sen's AI interview #9. Asked about batching calls from several agents to the same tool, Tanishk says a multi-agent setup brings extra complexity, including short-term and long-term memory to maintain. For a performance-review agent, a single agent with a fixed set of tools is enough.
