Agentic Workflow
An AI-driven process where agents make decisions, take actions, and coordinate tasks with minimal human intervention.
Traditional automation follows rigid if/then rules. Agentic workflows can adapt — choosing different tools, retrying failed steps, or escalating to humans when confidence is low.
Our RSS digest workflow (AL-RSS-001) fetches 65 sources, uses Ollama to summarize relevant articles, and only calls Claude API when Ollama can't handle the complexity. The workflow decides the routing — not a human.
