We build and run a multi-agent system. Today Cursor won. For a log analysis task — Cursor: 5 minutes. Our pipeline: 30 minutes.

Still a case for it: 1. Isolated contexts per role (CS vs. engineering) — agents don't bleed into each other 2. Hard permission boundaries per agent 3. Local models (Qwen) for cheap routine tasks

Multi-agent loses at debugging. But the structure has value.
