Agent Workflow Patterns
Workflows are the backbone of many successful LLM applications. They define how language models interact with tools, data, and users—often through a sequence of clearly orchestrated steps. Unlike fully autonomous agents, workflows offer structure and predictability, making them a practical choice for many real-world tasks.
We have practical workflows using a variety of agent frameworks, including:
Each section highlights how to use these tools effectively—showing what’s possible, where they shine, and where a simpler solution might serve you better. Whether you’re orchestrating deterministic workflows or building dynamic agentic systems, the goal is to help you choose the right tool for your context and build with confidence.
For a deeper dive into the principles behind agentic systems and when to use them, see Anthropic’s “Building Effective Agents”.
