Agentic Workflow
A structured process or series of tasks where an AI agent independently breaks down a complex objective into smaller, actionable steps, executes them using available tools, and iterates based on intermediate results.
## Definition An agentic workflow is the operational pattern of an autonomous AI agent, characterized by its ability to take a high-level goal and translate it into a sequence of deliberate actions. Unlike a traditional chatbot that only responds to immediate user input, an agent in an agentic workflow maintains state, utilizes specialized tools to interact with the environment, evaluates its progress, and adjusts its strategy if initial approaches fail. These workflows are fundamental to turning AI from a conversational assistant into an effective, problem-solving engine.
