A static multiagent system assigns roles at design time. When a complex customer support escalation task arrives, your pre-defined billing_agent and tech_agent may both be partially relevant, but neither is optimal. The system is forced into inefficient workarounds:
- Redundant processing as multiple agents parse the same data.
- Serial handoffs that increase end-to-end latency by 40-60%.
- Idle specialized agents while generalist agents struggle, wasting expensive compute.
