The Consortium Goes Live on Azure
April 9, 2026 — Seven agents. One Azure Functions app. Cross-VM delegation working. The VCG agent consortium is officially a platform.
The Fleet
| Agent | Role | Specialty |
|---|---|---|
| Anton | CEO | Strategy, client relationships, revenue optimization |
| Sue | Data/Analytics | Fleet intelligence, warehouse queries, Fabric dashboards |
| MSC Claw | Billing/Ops | Invoice automation, AR management, rate card enforcement |
| Hermes | COO | Infrastructure, monitoring, email, coordination |
| Scout | Research | Web intelligence, competitive analysis, client discovery |
| Kevin | Home/Office | Smart home, HVAC, physical infrastructure |
| Code Claw | Engineering | Code review, GitHub, deployment, testing |
The Architecture
Microsoft Agent Framework (MAF) on Azure Functions. Each agent has its own endpoint:
POST /api/agents/{name}/run
{"message": "...", "thread_id": "..."}
Anton delegates to Sue for fleet data. Anton delegates to MSC Claw for billing analysis. Hermes monitors everyone. Scout runs research in parallel.
Cross-VM communication works. An agent on the Mac mini can delegate to an agent on Azure, which can query a database on a different VM, and return the result in under 10 seconds.
What We Proved
The executive briefing test: Anton pulls data from Sue (26,000+ vehicles, $112K pipeline), MSC Claw ($430K AR, $45K deal), Hermes (3 Gabe emails), Scout (web search), and Code Claw (108 database tables) — all in parallel. Synthesizes into one executive summary.
That's not a chatbot. That's a functioning executive team.
The Numbers
- 7 agents deployed
- 3 VMs coordinating (Mac mini + Sue VM + Azure Functions)
- 26,000+ vehicles in the data warehouse
- $430K AR pipeline under management
- 2,858 field service clients automated
- Deployment cost: Azure Functions consumption tier (~$5/month)
The consortium isn't theoretical anymore. It's running. It's billing. It's deployed.
