Workflow Patterns

Master deterministic workflow patterns including sequential, parallel, conditional, and looping execution for reliable multi-agent automation.

Build deterministic, production-ready workflows that orchestrate agents, teams, and functions with predictable execution patterns. This comprehensive guide covers all workflow types, from simple sequential processes to complex branching logic with parallel execution and dynamic routing.

Unlike free-form agent interactions, these patterns provide structured automation with consistent, repeatable results ideal for production systems.

Building Blocks

The core building blocks of Agno Workflows are:

Component	Purpose
Step	Basic execution unit
Agent	AI assistant with specific role
Team	Coordinated group of agents
Function	Custom Python logic
Parallel	Concurrent execution
Condition	Conditional execution
Loop	Iterative execution
Router	Dynamic routing

Agno Workflows support multiple execution patterns that can be combined to build sophisticated automation systems. Each pattern serves specific use cases and can be composed together for complex workflows.

Sequential Workflows

Linear execution with step-by-step processing

Parallel Workflows

Concurrent execution for independent tasks

Conditional Workflows

Branching logic based on conditions

Iterative Workflows

Loop-based execution with quality controls

Branching Workflows

Dynamic routing and path selection

Grouped Steps

Reusable step sequences and modular design

Advanced Patterns

Function-Based Workflows

Custom Python functions as workflow steps
