Dive into a comprehensive 35-minute tutorial on implementing multi-agent workflows using OpenAI's Agents SDK handoffs. Learn the difference between agents-as-tools (orchestrator-subagent pattern) and handoffs, which allow agents to transfer control between each other. Follow along as the instructor builds a complex workflow integrating web search, RAG, and code execution agents using the latest LLMs including gpt-4.1-mini and gpt-4.1. The tutorial covers the complete implementation process from initial setup to advanced features like on_handoff callbacks, input_type specifications, and input_filter functionality. Explore the OpenAI Traces Dashboard for debugging and gain practical insights through multiple testing scenarios. Accompanying code examples and additional resources are provided to help master this powerful approach to building sophisticated agent systems.
