What is Agent Workflow Design?
Designing how an AI agent plans, acts, checks its progress and hands work back to people.
What you learn
Agents must report what they did, what’s left, and who’s next.
When it helps
an AI acts across tools or many steps, and people can’t tell what it has done.
Use it at work
- Define what the agent may do alone and what needs approval.
- Have it report each action as it goes.
- Have it report what’s done, what’s left and who acts next.
- Let people undo or take over at any step.
Your output
For each agent task, define the handback: what changed, what’s left, and who acts next.
Watch for
Agents that hand back a vague “done”.
