Multi-Agent AI Systems

In this second installment of a three-part series, hosts JC Bonilla and Ardis Kadiu examine how multiple AI agents can work together as coordinated teams. Using Element's Campaign Manager as a real-world example, they show how AI agents can mirror human marketing team structures and workflows. The hosts break down ROI measurement frameworks for these systems and discuss why higher education is still in early adoption. Through practical examples and clear explanations, this episode helps listeners understand the shift from single AI assistants to collaborative AI systems that can handle complex, multi-step tasks.
