Multi-agent AI is in every enterprise roadmap right now, but here's the problem we're all facing: agents can pass messages, but they can't think together. These systems silently underperform through cognitive failures —misreadings, unverified claims, and false consensus—that conventional monitoring can't detect. Outshift by Cisco is building the fix, the Internet of Cognition. An open source foundation for building multi-agent systems from design to production with shared context, shared memory, and guardrails to drive the results we actually expect from AI.
