Orchestration & Agent Harness: How AI Systems Are Coordinated

Most AI systems are not one model doing everything. They are several components working together, and something has to keep them in sync. Think of an insurance claim: one component extracts information from documents, another checks it against policy rules, another routes the case to the right team. Orchestration is the logic that decides which does what, in what order, and what gets passed between them. Terms covered: - Orchestration: the coordination layer across components - Agent Orchestration: orchestration applied to autonomous agents handing off work - Agent Runtime: the execution environment where agents actually operate - Agent Harness: the framework connecting agents, tools, memory and instructions into one system This is how AI goes from a single smart response to a coordinated system handling complex, multi-step work at scale. — AI Fundamentals Glossary | H2O.ai University Full playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLAWKlIKS-66E Free courses and certifications: https://h2o.ai/university #AgenticAI #AIOrchestration #AI #AIGlossary #H2Oai
