Question 1

What is the difference between a sequential and a parallel workflow?

Accepted Answer

In a sequential workflow, agents work in a relay - each agent receives the output of the previous agent as context, adds its own analysis, and passes the enriched result to the next. This is suited to tasks where later analysis depends on earlier findings, such as a complaint investigation where quality findings inform production scheduling decisions. In a parallel workflow, multiple agents analyse the same task simultaneously from different perspectives, and their outputs are merged into a single unified result. This is suited to tasks where multiple independent analyses are needed before a decision can be made, such as a supplier evaluation requiring simultaneous input from purchasing, compliance, and logistics.

Question 2

How is context passed between agents in a sequential workflow?

Accepted Answer

When an agent completes its step, it produces a structured output - findings, recommendations, and the data it used. This full context package is automatically passed to the next agent in the sequence, which uses it as part of its own analysis. Each agent in the chain therefore builds on what previous agents discovered, rather than starting from scratch. The full context chain is logged in the workflow audit trail, so teams can see exactly what each agent received, added, and passed forward.

Question 3

Can a human review or approve steps within a workflow?

Accepted Answer

Yes. Human-in-the-loop checkpoints can be inserted at any point in a workflow. When the workflow reaches a checkpoint, it pauses and notifies the relevant person for review and approval before proceeding. This is useful for high-stakes decisions where an agent's recommendation needs human confirmation before the next agent acts on it. The checkpoint includes the full context accumulated to that point, so reviewers have everything they need to make an informed decision.

Question 4

What types of tasks are suited to Team Workflows?

Accepted Answer

Team Workflows are suited to any cross-functional task that currently requires coordination between multiple people or departments. Examples include customer complaint investigation (quality, production, finance), supplier evaluation (purchasing, compliance, logistics), safety incident review (operations, HR, compliance), capital project approval (finance, operations, engineering), and continuous improvement cycles (production, quality, maintenance). Any task where multiple specialists need to contribute findings before a decision is made can be structured as a Team Workflow.
