Wanted to share a setup we have been running where Node-RED handles the trigger and routing layer for a multi-agent AI workflow.
The basic idea: Node-RED watches for events (webhooks, email triggers, scheduled intervals) and routes data to different AI agents depending on the task. One agent handles classification, another handles content generation, a third handles review. Node-RED is good at the trigger and data routing side but the coordination between agents, where one needs to hand off to another with shared context, is harder to do cleanly with flows alone.
We tried a few things for the coordination layer. Kept Node-RED for triggers and routing, used n8n briefly for some of the conditional handoffs, and also tested teamoffsite.ai for the shared context between agents. Each handled a different piece. Node-RED stayed in the stack because nothing else matches it for flexibility on the trigger side.
Curious if anyone else here is using Node-RED as part of an AI agent workflow. Would be interested to see how others are handling the handoff between agents.
