Agentic Workflows
AI systems that break complex tasks into steps, make decisions autonomously, and adapt based on results without constant human input.
What are Agentic Workflows?
Agentic workflows are AI systems that handle complex tasks by breaking them into smaller steps, making decisions independently, and learning from the results.
Instead of following rigid if-then rules like traditional automation, these workflows use AI agents that can plan, execute, adjust, and improve over time. Think of it as giving AI the ability to think through a problem rather than just following a script.
Most builders use agentic workflows for things like customer support (where an agent gathers context, tries solutions, and escalates when needed) or sales outreach (where it personalizes timing and messaging based on response rates). Tools like LangChain and Agentforce make it easier to build these workflows without starting from scratch.
The key difference from basic automation: these agents can handle unexpected situations and get better at their job the more they run.
