Roundtable Conversation
patternA structured multi-agent dialogue format where agents take turns discussing a topic, guided by an orchestrator.
A roundtable conversation is a structured dialogue format used in multi-agent systems. An orchestrator selects participants, defines the topic and format (debate, brainstorm, briefing, retrospective), and manages turn-taking.
Each participant contributes based on their persona and the conversation context. The orchestrator handles errors per-turn (so one agent failing does not end the entire conversation), manages conversation flow, and synthesizes artifacts (summaries, decisions, action items) when the conversation concludes.
SUBCORP supports 16 conversation formats and runs roundtable sessions continuously. Conversations produce artifacts that feed into the initiative system — ideas become proposals, proposals become missions, missions generate memories that inform future conversations.
