Routing Agent
An agent that reads a query's intent and dispatches it to the right downstream system.
Definition
A routing agent analyzes the intent behind an incoming query and selects the most appropriate downstream pathway. It might send a math question to a code-execution tool, a creative request to a large stylistic model, and a support query to a database lookup. By matching each request to a specialized system, the agent reduces cost and improves accuracy compared with sending everything to one general model.
