Reading a crowd of agents
Agent identity
Agent identity as a collaboration interface is the practice of giving each agent a name, a role and a stated remit, so that people can track a system larger than they can hold in working memory.
Control sits with the agent
When to use it
Any system with more than about three agents, and any shared workspace where people refer to agents in conversation.
What it prevents
Anonymous fleets, where nobody can say which agent did what or which ones are still needed.
