What breaks without openclaw multi-agent a2a
Monolithic bots doing too many jobs badly. No agent delegation layer. Multi-agent pipelines require custom IPC.
→
Multi-agent task delegation × A2A protocol standard gateway ÷ 90-minute setup ÷ no custom IPC required = specialized agents that outperform monolithic ones.
