Agent orchestration
The coordination layer that sequences an agent's steps, manages tool calls, handles errors and retries, enforces approvals, and records what happened.
In more detail
Agent orchestration is everything around the model that makes it dependable: deciding the order of steps, calling the right tools, handling failures and retries, enforcing approval gates, and capturing an audit record. A raw model plus a set of tools is a pile of parts; orchestration is what turns it into a process a business can rely on.
This is where most of the real engineering lives. The model's capability sets the ceiling, but orchestration determines whether a workflow actually completes reliably, recovers from a failed step, respects limits, and leaves a trail. Underinvesting here is why many early agent demos never survived contact with production.
Where this shows up at Ceven
Orchestration is what Ceven provides. The customer describes an outcome; Ceven sequences the steps across 1,000+ tools, handles the tool calls and error recovery, enforces the human-approval gates, and writes the audit trail. The model does the reasoning, but the orchestration around it is what makes the workflow run reliably.
