Anthropic’s Alex Albert (Claude Relations) sits down with Erik (Multi-Agent Research and co-author of our blog post, Building Effective Agents) for a discussion on the evolution of agents over the past six months, including tips for building multi-agent systems, common multi-agent patterns, and best practices for using skills, MCP servers, and tools.

00:35 – Training Claude to tackle agentic tasks
1:30 – Making Claude more autonomous with code
3:20 – Using the Claude Agent SDK to build agents
5:00 – Tips for using Agent Skills
6:40 – The evolution of workflows and agents (workflows of agents)
8:30 – The value of simple agent architectures
9:30 – Building multi-agent systems: orchestrators, subagents, and tool calling
11:40 – Training Claude to use subagents
12:25 – Multi-agent use design patterns: parallelization, MapReduce, and test-time compute
