Workflows Overview

yes
Summary: Graph-based workflow orchestration: defining agents as nodes, transitions as edges, and execution strategies (sequential, parallel, conditional).

Editorial Notes

Agent Framework workflows use a graph model where agents are nodes and edges define transitions — conceptually similar to LangGraph but with enterprise additions like middleware, durable execution, and built-in persistence. The executor abstraction (sequential, parallel, conditional) maps to Google ADK’s workflow agents but with more explicit control over edge routing. Compare the workflow builder API with LangGraph’s StateGraph to understand the different ergonomics: Agent Framework favors explicit builder patterns while LangGraph uses decorator-based graph construction.
