Problem

Current AutoGen orchestration patterns lack support for complex production workflows requiring:

• Consensus-driven decision making
• Hierarchical task delegation
• Quality-controlled pipelines with rollback
• Fault-tolerant coordination

Proposal: New Orchestrators

1. VotingOrchestrator

• Enables democratic agent consensus with configurable voting mechanisms
• Perfect for: code reviews, architecture decisions, content moderation

2. TreeOrchestrator

• Hierarchical task decomposition with dynamic worker allocation
• Ideal for: complex software projects, multi-stage data processing

Implementation

These orchestrators would integrate with existing AutoGen architecture:

• Extend BaseGroupChat or create new BaseOrchestrator class
• Maintain compatibility with existing agents
• Follow established patterns like GraphFlow and SelectorGroupChat

Benefits

• Enterprise-ready: Suitable for production multi-agent systems
• Reliability: Built-in consensus mechanisms and quality controls
• Scalability: Dynamic allocation of agent resources
• Explainability: Clear decision trails and metrics
