The one mental model for how AI bots talk to each other

Bots are restaurants. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.

The walkthrough

1. Bots are restaurants. Once you see it, you can't unsee it.
2. Each bot has a menu. We call it 'tools' or 'capabilities'.
3. Some bots have small menus. Cheap. Fast. Local.
4. Some have giant menus. Expensive. Slow. Specialty.
5. You don't pick the restaurant. The router does.
6. The router reads your order, decides who handles it best, sends it over.
7. Simple order? Local cafe handles it. Done in seconds.
8. Complex order? Steakhouse. Worth the price for that one.
9. That's a multi-bot system. The router orchestrates. The bots do the work.
10. In real software it looks like this. Boxes. Arrows. Same concept.
11. Each bot publishes its menu. The router reads it before deciding.
12. That's a menu item. Name. Inputs. What it does.
13. Every order has a cost. Tokens. Time. Sometimes dollars.
14. Sending every order to the steakhouse is how the bills get insane.
15. A good router saves you ~90%. Bad router = subscription nightmare.
16. Add new bots like adding new restaurants. Router learns the new menus.
17. The router uses YOUR context to pick. Your customers. Your data.
18. Router + bots = the whole architecture. Every. Single. Time.
