Cord: open-source framework lets AI agents dynamically coordinate in tree structures

A new open-source framework called Cord enables AI agents to dynamically decompose tasks into tree structures with dependencies, parallelism, and context flow. Unlike LangGraph, CrewAI, or AutoGen, Cord lets agents decide their own coordination patterns at runtime rather than requiring developers to predefine workflows. The framework addresses a fundamental limitation of existing multi-agent systems: all current options require developers to anticipate every possible task decomposition in advance, making them brittle for complex, evolving workloads.
