An orchestrator is the control layer in a multi-component AI system that decides which Agent runs in what order, how results are combined, and what to do on failure. In Multi-agent System designs, a parent agent usually plays the orchestrator role and dispatches work to one or more Subagent instances. Orchestration ranges from deterministic, hand-coded workflows to fully open-ended LLM-driven planning; frameworks like LangGraph and AutoGen illustrate different points on that spectrum. In production, observability, retries, and cost control all converge on the orchestrator.
