Overview

What is SWARM Mode?

SWARM Mode activates ARIK's full internal team of specialized agents: Research, Architect, Engineer, UX/UI, Strategy, Operations, Compliance, Persona, and Evolutive. Each agent brings unique perspective and expertise.

The Fusion Agent orchestrates collaboration, managing debates and synthesizing insights into coherent solutions. SWARM Mode is the most powerful mode for complex, cross-functional challenges.

When to Use SWARM Mode

  • Cross-functional problems (strategy + code + UX + ops simultaneously)
  • Designing or analyzing complex systems with many moving parts
  • Preparing for major launches, migrations, or transformations
  • Need robust, multi-perspective proposals instead of single viewpoint
  • Auditing existing systems from multiple angles
  • Strategic decisions requiring technical, business, and UX input
  • Building comprehensive roadmaps or transformation plans

How It Works – Step-by-Step

Multi-Agent SWARM Mode diagram showing collaboration between specialized agents through central fusion agent with debate loops and cross-checking
  1. Problem Framing: Perception Grid + Intent Engine clarify the challenge
  2. Agent Allocation: Adaptive Executor selects relevant specialist agents
  3. Parallel Reasoning: Agents analyze different aspects simultaneously
  4. Debate & Cross-Checking: Agents critique each other's proposals
  5. Fusion & Synthesis: Fusion Agent reconciles conflicts and merges best ideas
  6. Verification Loop: Whole-solution test for coherence and risk assessment
  7. Output: Integrated plan with strategy, architecture, steps, and handoffs

The Agent Team

Research Agent

Gathers information, analyzes patterns, and provides evidence-based insights

Architect Agent

Designs system structure, technical decisions, and scalability considerations

Engineer Agent

Focuses on implementation, code quality, testing, and technical feasibility

UX/UI Agent

Ensures user-centered design, accessibility, and interaction quality

Strategy Agent

Analyzes business impact, market positioning, and competitive dynamics

Operations Agent

Considers deployment, monitoring, maintenance, and operational excellence

Compliance Agent

Evaluates safety, security, privacy, and regulatory requirements

Fusion Agent

Orchestrates collaboration and synthesizes perspectives into coherent solutions

Benefits & Strengths

Multi-Perspective Solutions

Considers technical, business, UX, and operational angles simultaneously

Blind Spot Detection

Cross-checking between agents catches issues single-perspective analysis misses

Cross-Functional Team

Like having experts from every discipline collaborating instantly

Comprehensive Planning

Delivers strategy, architecture, implementation, and operations in one solution

Limitations & Risks

  • Can be overkill: For simple tasks, use BASIC or DETAIL Mode
  • Requires clear problem statement: Vague requests may lead to unfocused analysis
  • Longer outputs: Comprehensive solutions take more time to generate and read
  • Needs constraints: Provide goals, timeline, budget, and priorities upfront

Best Practices & Tips

Provide mission brief

Include goal, constraints, timeline, stakeholders, and success criteria. This focuses the swarm's work.

Request transparency

Ask "Show me what each agent thinks before fusion" to understand different perspectives.

Ask for synthesis

After getting fused answer, request "risks and mitigations" or a "TL;DR" summary.

Hand off to AGENTIC

Use SWARM for planning and analysis, then switch to AGENTIC Mode to execute the plan.

Example Prompts

"As a multi-agent swarm, help me design the launch plan, architecture, and UX for a new AI SaaS product."
"Swarm Mode: audit our engineering and operations to suggest a 90-day transformation roadmap."
"Simulate a cross-functional review of our pricing model: finance, product, UX, and strategy perspectives."
"Design a comprehensive content moderation system: technical architecture, UX flows, ops processes, compliance."
"Swarm analysis: should we build or buy our notification system? Consider cost, time, quality, maintenance."
"Plan a complete migration from monolith to microservices: architecture, rollout strategy, risks, testing."
"Evaluate our checkout flow from UX, conversion optimization, technical, and ops perspectives."
"Design a comprehensive analytics strategy: what to track, architecture, privacy, and business value."

Example Workflows & Case Studies

SaaS Product Launch Planning

A startup uses SWARM Mode to plan their first major launch. The swarm delivers: GTM strategy (Strategy Agent), technical architecture (Architect + Engineer), UX flows (UX Agent), operational playbook (Ops Agent), and compliance checklist (Compliance). The comprehensive plan accelerates launch by 3 weeks.

Digital Transformation Strategy

A mid-sized company asks SWARM Mode to audit their systems and propose a 90-day transformation. The swarm identifies technical debt (Engineer), workflow inefficiencies (Ops), UX issues (UX), and misaligned metrics (Strategy), delivering a prioritized roadmap with quick wins and long-term improvements.

Cross-Functional System Review

An engineering team uses SWARM Mode to review their payment system. Each agent examines different aspects: architecture scalability, code quality, UX friction, operational monitoring, and security compliance. The fusion reveals 3 critical issues missed by single-perspective reviews.
