We present SIYA, a general-purpose hierarchical multi-agent framework that represents a significant advancement in autonomous AI agent systems. SIYA coordinates seven specialized agents through an intelligent orchestrator, implementing novel approaches to memory management, tool integration, dynamic scaling, and cross-domain task execution that surpass current limitations found in existing platforms including ChatGPT Agent, OpenAI Operator, AutoGPT, and Manus AI.
Our system introduces a three-tier memory architecture with token-aware pruning achieving up to 70% cost reduction, revolutionary multi-instance spawning capabilities enabling parallel processing through multiple SIYA copies and sub-agent instances, a comprehensive tool ecosystem spanning 35+ specialized capabilities, and sophisticated coordination mechanisms enabling seamless multi-domain workflow execution.
Through extensive architectural analysis and performance evaluation, we demonstrate SIYA's superior capabilities in complex task decomposition, intelligent agent selection, and robust error recovery. The system's modular design supports software development, web automation, data analysis, content creation, and system administration tasks within a unified framework. Our findings establish SIYA as a competitive alternative to current market leaders, with particular strengths in memory efficiency, cross-domain coordination, and enterprise-grade security features.

I. Introduction
The emergence of autonomous AI agent platforms marks a pivotal moment in artificial intelligence, with systems like ChatGPT Agent (OpenAI, 2025), OpenAI Operator (2025), AutoGPT (2024-2025), and Manus AI competing to define the future of human-AI collaboration. Recent breakthroughs include OpenAI's ChatGPT Agent with autonomous computer control, Operator's specialized browser automation capabilities, and AutoGPT's multi-agent workflow orchestration.
However, current platforms face fundamental architectural limitations that restrict their effectiveness in complex, multi-domain scenarios:
- Single-agent architectures that struggle with context preservation across extended workflows
- Limited memory management leading to escalating costs and context loss
- Fragmented coordination between specialized capabilities
- Lack of sophisticated error recovery mechanisms for complex multi-step processes
SIYA addresses these critical limitations through a novel hierarchical multi-agent architecture that fundamentally reimagines how autonomous systems coordinate complex tasks. Unlike existing platforms that rely on single-agent architectures or simple delegation patterns, SIYA implements a sophisticated orchestration framework where seven specialized agents collaborate through shared memory, private reasoning spaces, and intelligent coordination protocols.
II. Related Work and Competitive Landscape
The AI agent platform market has rapidly evolved with several major players establishing dominant positions through breakthrough capabilities released in 2024-2025.
A. Current Market Leaders
OpenAI ChatGPT Agent (2025): Represents a revolutionary advancement with autonomous computer control capabilities. ChatGPT Agent operates through a virtual computer environment, directly interfacing with operating systems and applications to break down tasks, execute multi-step actions, and interact with web interfaces through simulated mouse and keyboard inputs. The system achieves strong performance on knowledge work benchmarks including 44.4% on Humanity's Last Exam and 45.5% on SWE-bench.
III. System Architecture
SIYA's architecture represents a departure from traditional single-agent systems through its hierarchical multi-agent design. The framework consists of seven specialized agents coordinated by an intelligent orchestrator, each maintaining private reasoning spaces while sharing a unified memory architecture.
A. Core Agent Components
The system implements seven primary agents, each optimized for specific task domains:
- MultiAgentOrchestrator: Entry-level coordinator that receives user requests and delegates to the SIYA Agent while managing high-level workflow state
- SIYA Agent: Central intelligence hub implementing the main ReAct loop, maintaining conversation context, and orchestrating sub-agent delegation through specialized tools
- Specialized Sub-Agents: Domain-specific agents (Browser, SWE, Search, Data Analysis, Terminal) that function as advanced tools with their own specialized toolsets
- Three-Tier Memory System: Shared Memory (cross-system context), Private Memory (agent-specific state), and Compact Memory Manager (intelligent pruning and optimization)
- Tool Ecosystem: 35+ specialized tools distributed across the SIYA Agent and sub-agents, enabling comprehensive capability coverage
IV. Three-Tier Hierarchical Architecture
A. Tier 1: MultiAgentOrchestrator
The MultiAgentOrchestrator serves as the system's entry point and high-level coordinator. Its primary responsibilities include:
- User Interface Management: Receiving and preprocessing user requests, managing conversation state, and providing response formatting
- Workflow Initialization: Creating workspace contexts, initializing shared memory systems, and establishing communication channels with the SIYA Agent
- Resource Management: Managing system resources, monitoring performance metrics, and handling error propagation from lower tiers
B. Tier 2: SIYA Agent - Central Intelligence Hub
The SIYA Agent represents the core innovation of the system, functioning as the primary reasoning engine that maintains complete workflow context:
- ReAct Loop Implementation: Implements sophisticated Reasoning and Acting cycles, analyzing user requests, planning approaches, and executing actions through tool invocation or sub-agent delegation
- Context Preservation: Maintains complete conversation history, task context, and inter-agent state information throughout extended workflows
- Tool and Sub-Agent Orchestration: Makes intelligent decisions about whether to use direct tools or delegate to specialized sub-agents based on task requirements and current context
- Multi-Instance Spawning: Can spawn multiple copies of itself (child SIYA instances) for parallel task execution, enabling concurrent processing of independent workflows while maintaining coordination through shared memory
- Sub-Agent Scaling: Dynamically creates multiple instances of specialized sub-agents for parallel operations within their domains
- Memory Management: Coordinates with the three-tier memory system to optimize context usage and ensure cost-effective operation
