Overview

Agentic workflows move away from 'zero-shot' prompts toward iterative processes. Instead of asking an AI to do something in one go, you give it the tools and the autonomy to work through the problem step-by-step.

Key Characteristics

  • Iterative: The model can review its own work and make corrections.
  • Tool Use: The model can call external APIs, run code, or search databases.
  • Planning: The model breaks down complex goals into manageable sub-tasks.
  • Reflection: The model evaluates its progress and adjusts its strategy.

Benefits

Significantly improves the performance of LLMs on complex tasks like coding, research, and data analysis.
