## Definition

**Agent orchestration** — the structured coordination of work across AI agents using dedicated orchestration software (such as Codex or Co-work), as opposed to informally delegating tasks to bots in chat.

In this channel's material, **Agent orchestration** names a structured way of working with AI agents: instead of informally asking a bot for help, you use dedicated orchestration software — tools like *Codex* and *Co-work* — to organize and hand out work across agents.[^c60d67d7-86a5-5b7a-971a-85c350d650be@283]The presenter contrasts orchestration with a more casual pattern of delegating to agents in chat:Orchestration is framed as an emerging paradigm that is *weirder* — and, in the presenter's view, **more important** — than informal delegation.[^c60d67d7-86a5-5b7a-971a-85c350d650be@283] It connects to the broader skill the channel highlights: working with agents the way managers work with people — delegating, splitting tasks into discrete units, and deciding when to supervise closely.[^c60d67d7-86a5-5b7a-971a-85c350d650be@108] Reid Hoffman's 2026 predictions point the same direction: **parallelization, longer workflows, and orchestration** as defining features of agent use.[^1c5729f0-aa49-5017-8b76-b56651ca5602@0]- **Agent orchestration** = structured coordination of AI agents through dedicated orchestration software (e.g., Codex, Co-work).- Distinct from informal **Slack delegation**, where you at-mention a bot in chat.- The presenter considers it the more important of the two usage shapes.- It relies on manager-like skills: delegation, task splitting, and knowing when to supervise.
