Co-founder, Agent2.AI  ·  SF Bay Area

Linghao Yang (James)

I build practical AI products and the ops behind them — and publish research on multi-agent systems along the way.

01About

I love the loop of shipping, talking to customers, and iterating quickly — and I thrive in teams that stay close to real user problems.

I'm the co-founder of Agent2.AI, where we built a general multi-agent system that helps users orchestrate the right tools and workflows to automate real work.

Before going full-time on my startup, I was an Associate at Morgan Stanley in the FRTB PMO and Risk Quant org — coordinating 20+ global teams and keeping a major regulatory program on deadline.

I also invest in AI: I've invested in xAI and Anthropic, and I'm an LP in a small VC fund.

Outside of work I dance, play tennis, lift, and do magic tricks. In my freshman year at Penn State I founded ACEs Dance Crew, the school's largest dance club, and I've competed in professional breaking battles.

If you're in SF / the Bay Area, I'm always happy to connect — AI, VC, stocks, breakdancing, or Pokémon, over boba :)

03Research

Papers

My research explores how AI agents can collaborate more effectively in complex, real-world environments. Across my work, I study multi-agent coordination, trust-aware information sharing, role consistency, adaptive routing, long-term memory, and structured knowledge reasoning, with the goal of making LLM-based agent systems more reliable, efficient, and practical. Full list on Google Scholar.
