     Manages conversations between multiple AI agents.
 
-    This class enables agent-to-agent conversations where multiple AI agents
-    can discuss, debate, or collaborate. Each agent maintains its own persona
-    and sees the conversation from its perspective.
+    Integrates with flashlite's templating, logging, structured outputs,
+    and observability features.
 
     Key features:
     - Multiple agents with different personas and optionally different models
+    - Jinja template support for agent system prompts
+    - Per-message visibility control (private whispers to specific agents)
+    - Structured output support via Pydantic models (per-turn, flexible)
     - Automatic context building from each agent's perspective
+    - Conversation-level logging and per-agent stats
     - Round-robin or directed turn-taking
-    - Full conversation transcript with metadata
-    - Support for injecting external messages (moderator, user input)
 
     How it works:
-    - Each agent has a system prompt defining their persona
+    - Each agent has a system prompt (raw or Jinja template) defining their persona
     - When an agent speaks, they see:
       - Their own previous messages as "assistant" role
-      - Other agents' messages as "user" role with name attribution
-    - This creates natural back-and-forth conversation
+      - Other agents' messages as "user" role with the ``name`` field for attribution
+      - Only messages they are allowed to see (filtered by ``visible_to``)
+    - Private context on an agent is injected as a system message only they see
