Learn how to build a custom multi-agent framework runtime, and why the authors decided to create their own solution, Orloj, after trying existing frameworks

advanced Published 9 Apr 2026
Action Steps
  1. Evaluate existing multi-agent frameworks to identify their limitations
  2. Design a custom runtime architecture that meets specific project needs
  3. Implement a framework-as-a-service approach using Orloj or a similar solution
  4. Test and refine the custom runtime to ensure scalability and performance
  5. Integrate the custom runtime with existing systems and tools
Who Needs to Know This

Developers and engineers working on complex systems or AI projects can benefit from understanding the limitations of existing multi-agent frameworks and how to create a custom runtime, while technical leads and architects can apply this knowledge to design more efficient and scalable systems

Key Insight

💡 Existing multi-agent frameworks may not meet the specific needs of a project, and building a custom runtime can provide more flexibility and scalability
