Summary

Agent Workflows is a new feature in the agents platform, offering a visual editor for creating intricate conversation flows, enabling the decomposition of tasks and integration of specialized Subagents for handling complex scenarios. This approach allows for explicit, auditable, and testable behavior by mapping conversation flows, setting decision points, and managing handoffs to Subagents or human operators. Each Subagent operates with its own system prompt, tools, and scoped knowledge base, enhancing response quality and security by limiting access to sensitive systems. The platform allows embedding business rules to ensure compliance with existing policies and optimizes for cost, latency, and accuracy by selecting the appropriate language models for different tasks. This structured methodology reduces token usage and improves precision, making the overall system more efficient and reliable.
