Vlad Kyle describes Leo's approach as a multi-agent system designed to handle the end-to-end procurement process. He explains that agents across retrieval, process, policy, and principal categories must share information and work in a specific order to solve complex tasks that often involve multiple stakeholders and software tools.
“And because the Also like human level task involves eight people, eight stakeholders, and maybe like three departments and five different software tools. We need to cover like all of those to do like the job end to end and those agents need to then communicate with each other. And only with a multi-agent system you can do a job end to end.”
“When we started out, we like started off with like a retrieval, like more like a co-pilot, obviously like three years ago. But then the next step was like a single agent.”
“You can't solve in like negotiation even without having a contract agent, without maybe like having an agent looking at the news and everything that I described before. So that's what we define as a multi-agent system.”
