Building a Multimodal Agent Orchestrator from the Ground Up
dair_ai · x · 2026-07-22
Following the release of Claude's 'Record a skill' feature, developer Omar Khattab shared his previous work on building a multimodal agent orchestrator.
Core Approach:
- He built the orchestrator to be natively multimodal from day one, wiring up text, screenshots, audio, video, and annotations as inputs.
- These multimodal inputs can be consolidated into reusable skills for the agent, mirroring the logic of Claude's new feature that turns screen recordings and voice walkthroughs into executable actions.
This architectural approach provides a valuable engineering paradigm for creating versatile AI agents capable of observing and replicating complex human operations.
