    A Coding Guide to Build Intelligent Multi-Agent Systems with the PEER Pattern

    August 2, 2025

    In this tutorial, we explore a powerful multi-agent system built around the PEER pattern: Plan, Execute, Express, and Review. We run the entire workflow in Google Colab/Notebook, integrating agents with specialized roles and leveraging Google’s Gemini 1.5 Flash model via a free API key. As we walk through the system, we observe how each agent collaborates to tackle complex tasks across different domains such as finance, technology, and creative strategy. This hands-on tutorial allows us to understand the architecture, workflow, and iterative refinement that underpin high-quality AI outputs.

    We begin by installing the required libraries, including agentUniverse and google-generativeai, to set up our multi-agent system. After importing the necessary modules, we configure the Gemini API using our free API key to enable AI-powered content generation. Check out the Full Codes here.

    We define four distinct agent roles, Planner, Executor, Expresser, and Reviewer, using an Enum to represent their specialized functions. Then, we create a Task dataclass to manage task metadata, including status, result, and feedback. The BaseAgent class serves as the core blueprint for all agents, enabling them to process tasks, call the Gemini API with role-specific prompts, store results in memory, and gracefully fall back to predefined responses if the API fails.

    We implement the PEER pattern, Plan, Execute, Express, Review, through the PEERAgent class, which coordinates four specialized agents for collaborative task-solving. Each iteration runs through all four phases, refining the task output based on structured planning, execution, professional expression, and quality review. We allow up to three iterations, concluding early if the review indicates high-quality completion, making the workflow both adaptive and efficient. Check out the Full Codes here.

    We bring everything together through the MultiAgentOrchestrator, which coordinates the PEER system and, when needed, invokes domain-specific agents like the Financial Analyst or Technical Expert. This orchestrator handles each complex task by first leveraging the PEER pattern and then enhancing results with specialized knowledge. We also define a simple KnowledgeBase to support domain-aware reasoning. In the run_advanced_demo() function, we test the full pipeline with three tasks, financial, technical, and creative, while capturing agent performance and iteration metrics to showcase the power and versatility of our multi-agent setup.

       print("   • Experiment with different Gemini models (gemini-pro, gemini-1.5-flash)")
       print("   • Build production-ready multi-agent applications")

    We conclude the tutorial by initializing the system, verifying the Gemini API key, and executing the full PEER-based multi-agent workflow. We explain the architecture and pattern before running the demo, and upon successful completion, we display a performance summary and key takeaways.

    In conclusion, we successfully demonstrate how a multi-agent system can systematically solve complex problems with the help of domain-specific reasoning, structured communication, and iterative quality checks. We gain insights into the collaborative power of the PEER framework and witness how Gemini enhances each agent’s output. Through this experience, we realize the potential of modular AI systems in creating scalable, reliable, and intelligent applications ready for real-world deployment.
