A: Hey there! Guess what? Did you hear about this cool tech news?
B: Nah, what's up?

B: Sounds interesting! What do they mean by "orchestration"?

A: It's like a control panel where you can measure the performance of these AI agents, add human approval to certain processes if needed, and set up guidelines for the agents to follow.
B: Oh, I see! They want to help with repetitive tasks, right? Like coding or incident resolution?

B: I wonder who will come out on top! This Port sounds like it's one to watch though.
