Build Complex Workflows with Agents¶
Design and create sophisticated multi-agent workflows through conversational collaboration with Graph Designer.
Overview¶
Complex workflows combine multiple specialized Agents working together through structured connections, conditional routing, and dynamic decision-making. Graph Designer enables you to build these workflows through natural conversation without manual configuration.
What Makes a Workflow Complex¶
| Feature | Simple Workflow | Complex Workflow |
|---|---|---|
| Nodes | 2-3 linear steps | Multiple specialized nodes with different roles |
| Flow | Sequential execution | Conditional branching, loops, parallel processing |
| Logic | Fixed routing | Dynamic path selection based on results |
| Tools | Single tool category | Multiple tool types (MCP, File, Sub-agent, Memory) |
| Refinement | Single pass | Iterative improvement with quality loops |
Building Complex Workflows¶
Graph Designer provides conversational workflow design. Instead of manual configuration, describe your needs and collaborate with the Agent to create the workflow.
Design Process¶
| Stage | What Happens | Your Role |
|---|---|---|
| Describe Goals | Tell Graph Designer what process you want to automate | "I need to automate code review with quality checks" |
| Clarify Requirements | Agent asks about stages, tools, quality gates, branching logic | Answer questions about workflow details |
| Review Draft | Agent creates workflow configuration as a JSON file | Review the design in the file system |
| Refine Iteratively | Provide feedback on what to improve | "Add a retry loop for failed checks" |
| Approve & Deploy | Agent registers the workflow to the system | Confirm when satisfied with the design |
Get Started¶
To build complex workflows, use the Graph Designer tool which provides:
- Complete design specification with all configuration options
- Conversational guidance through the design process
- Export existing workflows to learn from successful patterns
- Iterative refinement based on your feedback
- Validation and registration to the system
