Six AI agents held a meeting and agreed on something. The topic was pineapple on pizza. Verdict: yes, obviously.
That’s not the part worth writing about. How I got there is.
Last week I built a roundtable system for my agent team. The idea was to stop each agent from working alone and shipping output into a void. Instead they’d sit in an actual deliberation, respond to each other’s arguments, change their minds, arrive at something resembling consensus.

And he is right to do so. I should go out more.
