A demonstrative implementation of specialized agents coordinating to handle travel booking tasks

Core Idea:

The flight and hotel booking multi-agent system demonstrates practical implementation of agent specialization and handoffs by using dedicated agents for flight and hotel booking that can transfer control between each other based on user needs.

Key Principles:

1. Domain Specialization:
   • Flight assistant handles only flight-related tasks with flight-specific tools
   • Hotel assistant handles only accommodation-related tasks with hotel-specific tools
2. Contextual Handoffs:
   • Agents transfer control when user requests shift to the other domain
3. Tool-Based Implementation:
   • Each agent has domain-specific tools plus a transfer tool for handoffs
4. Local Model Demonstration:
   • System demonstrates the capability of running on local models (e.g., Qwen 14B)

Why It Matters:

• Concrete Implementation Pattern:
  • Provides clear example of how to structure multi-agent systems
• Performance Optimization:
  • Shows how specialization improves tool selection accuracy in smaller models
• User Experience Design:
  • Demonstrates seamless transitions between specialists from user perspective
• Reference Architecture:
  • Serves as template for developing other domain-specific multi-agent systems

How to Implement:

1. Define Domain-Specific Tools:
   • Create tools like search_flights, book_flight, search_hotels, book_hotel
2. Create Specialized Agents:
   • Implement flight and hotel agents with their respective tool sets
3. Add Transfer Mechanisms:
   • Include transfer tools in each agent's toolkit
4. Set Up Tracing:
   • Implement LangSmith tracing to monitor agent interactions and handoffs

Example:

• Scenario:
  • User planning a trip requiring both flights and accommodation
• Application:
  • User: "I need to find flights to Tokyo next week"
  • Flight Agent: Uses search_flight tool, finds options, books selected flight
  • User: "Now I need a hotel as well"
  • Flight Agent: Recognizes hotel request, transfers to Hotel Agent
  • Hotel Agent: Handles hotel search and booking process
• Result:
  • Complete travel booking experience with seamless transitions between specialized agents
