What is AI Orchestration?
AI orchestration is the process of coordinating multiple AI models, agents, and services within a single workflow. Instead of relying on one model, an orchestrator assigns tasks to specialized components and merges their results.
How does orchestration work?
The orchestrator acts as a "conductor" — it analyzes incoming tasks, breaks them into subtasks, assigns them to the right agents or models, then collects and consolidates responses. Key elements include: query routing, context management, error handling, and cost optimization.
Business applications
In enterprise practice, orchestration enables automation of complex processes requiring different AI competencies — e.g., email classification, response generation, and CRM updates in a single workflow. Companies using orchestration reduce API costs by up to 70% by routing simple queries to cheaper models.
