Originally built by AWS Labs as Multi-Agent Orchestrator, now maintained as the open-source Agent Squad project.

Agent Squad is a Python and TypeScript framework for classifying user intent and routing conversations to the right specialized agent among many, with shared context and state.

Distributed as pip and npm packages, deployable to AWS Lambda, containers, or any local environment.

Released in 2024 under the Multi-Agent Orchestrator name and renamed Agent Squad in 2025, with commits continuing into 2026.

It exists to give teams a lightweight way to build supervisor-style multi-agent systems without adopting a heavier full framework.

Requires an LLM provider (Bedrock, OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.) and optionally AWS services like Lambda and DynamoDB for storage.

Open-source under Apache 2.0, runs in your own Python or Node process or AWS account, sending conversation data to whichever LLM API you configure.
