Definition
Agentic workflows involve AI systems that operate more autonomously, breaking down complex tasks, executing steps, and iterating until goals are achieved.
- **Key Patterns:**
- Reflection: AI reviews and improves its output
- Tool Use: AI uses external tools and APIs
- Planning: Breaking goals into sub-tasks
- Multi-Agent: Multiple AIs collaborating
Workflow Steps: 1. Receive high-level goal 2. Plan approach and sub-tasks 3. Execute first step 4. Evaluate result 5. Adjust plan if needed 6. Continue until complete
Frameworks: - LangGraph - CrewAI - AutoGen - LlamaIndex Workflows
Benefits: - Handle complex tasks - Self-correct errors - More human-like problem solving - Reduced need for hand-holding
Examples
An agent that researches a topic, writes an article, fact-checks it, and revises based on feedback.
