Workflows are authored in chat. You describe what you want, AgentFlow asks for missing details, proposes a plan, and waits for your confirmation before creating anything. The visual builder is for reviewing and editing once the first version exists.
Before you describe it
Know these, so the clarifying questions go quickly:
- The repeatable outcome
- Runtime inputs
- The ordered operations and any branches
- Tools and skills each step needs
- Expected outputs
- What should happen on failure
- Any side effect that needs an action policy
Create the workflow
- Start or open a project chat.
- Describe the workflow and its business rules.
- Answer clarification questions about ambiguous steps, inputs, tool choice, branching, model needs and approval behavior.
- Review the proposed plan.
- Explicitly confirm that AgentFlow should create the workflow.
- Wait while AgentFlow verifies and compiles it.
What happens when you confirm
The authoring path:
- Plans the graph and chooses step types.
- Drafts the typed workflow specification.
- Runs and verifies every deterministic
tool, transform and python step.
- Validates the full spec with the runtime compiler.
- Repairs and rechecks any errors.
- Saves only a workflow that compiles.
Creating and editing both apply the same compiler check when you save. Invalid specifications are refused.
