Agency Swarm
08 agent-communication/VRSEN/ACTIVE/aka VRSEN Agency Swarm
Agency Swarm is VRSEN's framework for building 'agencies' of OpenAI-powered agents — defining agents, their tools, and which agents are allowed to talk to which over an explicit communication-flow graph.
What it does
- 01Agency and communication-flow graph
- 02Built on the OpenAI Agents SDK
- 03Tool sharing between agents
- 04Agency templates
Who it's for
Builders already on OpenAI's stack who want an explicit map of which agent can call which.
Pricing
Free (OSS). List prices as checked against the vendor's pricing page on 2026-09-25; plans change often, so confirm before deciding.
caveat · before you adopt
Tightly coupled to OpenAI's models and API, with a smaller community than CrewAI or the AutoGen lineage.
