Why One Giant AI Agent May Not Be The Future

#programming #ai #mcp #github

Many AI products are pursuing a common goal:

Build a single agent capable of doing everything.

But software engineering teaches a different lesson.

Large monolithic systems eventually become difficult to maintain, scale, and improve.

AI may face the same challenge.

Instead of one giant agent, future systems may consist of specialized agents responsible for different tasks:

Each agent can focus on a specific responsibility while collaborating with others.

The real challenge becomes coordination.

How do agents communicate?

How do they share context?

How do they avoid conflicting actions?

These questions are becoming increasingly important as multi-agent systems move from experiments to production.

At Contorium, we’re exploring the infrastructure required to support this coordination layer.

Because building smarter agents is only part of the solution.

Building systems where agents can work together may matter even more.
