A distributed architecture where multiple specialized AI agents discover, communicate with, and delegate tasks to each other dynamically—without a central orchestrator dictating every interaction. Inspired by service mesh patterns in microservices, an agent mesh provides infrastructure for agent-to-agent communication, capability discovery, load balancing, and fault tolerance. Each agent advertises its capabilities; other agents route requests to the most appropriate specialist. This contrasts with centralized multi-agent orchestration where a single coordinator manages all interactions.
A company deploys a mesh of 12 specialized agents: lead research, email drafting, calendar scheduling, CRM updates, contract review, pricing analysis, etc. When a sales rep asks 'Prepare a proposal for Acme Corp', the mesh routes the request across agents—research gathers company intel, pricing pulls relevant tiers, contract review checks existing agreements, and the drafting agent assembles the proposal—all coordinated peer-to-peer without a single orchestrator bottleneck.
