What it is
Agency Orchestrator is a toolset for orchestrating multi-agent AI workflows from YAML configurations. It provides 267 built-in roles, supports 11 model/providers, and offers both CLI and desktop interfaces. It can run workflows locally, include acceptance criteria, and manage teams/loadouts of roles. It also offers a web Studio interface and supports multiple languages for roles.
How it works
Workflows are defined in YAML with an agents_dir, llm provider/model, and steps. The engine builds a DAG, detects parallel steps, passes outputs between steps, and can run locally or via MCP servers. It can auto-load roles from agency-agents directories and supports dependency management between steps. It supports various providers and API keys, including DeepSeek and OpenAI-compatible endpoints.
Getting started
npm install -g agency-orchestrator
Start the CLI to compose and run workflows, or use the desktop client which includes its own engine and Node. Example commands include:
ao compose "一句话描述" --run
ao demo
Install details mention Docker deployment and environment variables for directories (AO_HOME, AO_DATA_DIR, AO_AGENTS_DIR) and notes about local vs API-based usage.
