A repeatable chain of steps an AI agent runs end to end, where each step's result decides what it does next.

Lesson #6: The Agentic Era: Agents That Do the Work →
Think of it like…

A recipe that can change itself if the oven runs hot.

Everyday example

Sorting your inbox: read, decide urgency, draft a reply, and flag anything that needs you.

Construction example

Take a site photo, spot the missing railing, write the punch item, and text the foreman.

Business example

New lead arrives, agent qualifies it, books a call, and updates the sales sheet.

Why this matters

Writing the workflow down is how you keep an agent predictable instead of improvising every run.

One-sentence summary

An agentic workflow is a step chain an agent runs and adjusts.

Try it yourself

Pick a task you repeat weekly and write it as four numbered steps with one decision point.
