Runs two independent root agents concurrently in the same process, each with a unique WithInstanceId and task queue suffix. Required when multiple agents share a Temporal namespace without colliding on workflow identity. Source: examples/multiple_agents/

​
What it demonstrates

  • WithInstanceId for distinct Temporal workflow IDs
  • Per-agent task queue suffixes from the shared base queue
  • Concurrent Run calls on separate agent instances

​
Run

From examples/ with Temporal: 
task infra:temporal:up && task infra:temporal:wait
AGENT_RUNTIME=temporal go run ./multiple_agents

​
Key code

agent1, err := agent.NewAgent(
    agent.WithName("agent-1"),
    agent.WithInstanceId("agent-1"),
    agent.WithLLMClient(llmClient),
    agent.WithTemporalConfig(temporalCfg), // task queue gets instance suffix
)

agent2, err := agent.NewAgent(
    agent.WithName("agent-2"),
    agent.WithInstanceId("agent-2"),
    agent.WithLLMClient(llmClient),
    agent.WithTemporalConfig(temporalCfg),
)
See Multiple agents for task queue naming and scaling patterns.

​
Expected output

[agent-1] Hello from agent 1! I'm ready to help.
[agent-2] Hello from agent 2! I'm also ready to assist.
Both agents run concurrently. Each workflow ID is unique because WithInstanceId suffixes the Temporal workflow key — no collision on shared namespace.
