5 Agentic AI

Agentic AI in MicroTx Workflows makes workflow execution more dynamic and adaptable.

It introduces intelligent orchestration through Agentic Planner, reusable AI-driven execution through Agentic Tasks, single-prompt AI integration through GenAI Tasks, built-in tools for common agent use cases, and secure integration with external tools and services through authenticated Model Context Protocol (MCP) connections.

With these capabilities, MicroTx Workflows enables you to create, configure, test, and manage reusable AI agents that can be invoked directly from workflows. Define these agents using prompts, tools, MCP servers, and related execution settings, allowing workflows to perform context-aware actions, interact with external systems, and support more advanced automation patterns.

For simpler AI use cases, MicroTx Workflows also provides GenAI Tasks, which allow you to integrate single-prompt LLM interactions directly into a workflow step. This is useful for scenarios such as summarization, classification, extraction, translation, or other focused prompt-based tasks that do not require full agent orchestration.

Benefits

Here are some of the benefits that this feature offers to you as a developer:

  • Dynamic orchestration: Build workflows that can adapt at runtime using Agentic Planner, enabling more intelligent and context-aware execution paths.
  • Reusable agent execution: Create reusable AI agents through Agentic Tasks and invoke them across workflows for consistent and maintainable automation.
  • Simple prompt-based AI integration: Use GenAI Tasks to add focused LLM-powered capabilities to workflow steps without requiring full agent configuration.
  • Durable execution: Run reusable agent-based workflow steps in a durable execution model, improving reliability for long-running and multi-step processes.
  • Built-in extensibility: Use internal tools for common agent scenarios and extend capabilities further with secure MCP integrations.
  • Enhanced automation: Enable higher levels of workflow automation by combining AI reasoning, reusable agent behavior, prompt-based AI tasks, and external tool access.
  • Simplified integration: Invoke AI-powered capabilities directly within MicroTx Workflows with minimal boilerplate, which helps build intelligent workflows more efficiently.

Key Building Blocks

Use Agentic AI in MicroTx Workflows as a key building block in a few tasks and also leverage some other features of MicroTx Workflows.

  • Agentic Tasks

    Agentic Tasks allow you to define reusable AI agents and invoke them directly from workflows by name. These tasks encapsulate agent behavior in a reusable form, making it easier to standardize intelligent workflow steps across multiple business processes. With durable execution support, Agentic Tasks can participate reliably in long-running workflow executions.

  • GenAI Tasks

    GenAI Tasks provide single-prompt AI integration for workflow steps that require direct interaction with an LLM. They are well suited for focused use cases such as summarization, content generation, classification, data extraction, and translation. GenAI Tasks offer a simple way to add AI capabilities to a workflow without defining a reusable agent.

  • Agentic Planner

    Agentic Planner enables dynamic orchestration within MicroTx Workflows. Instead of relying only on static workflow definitions, it can evaluate runtime context and determine the next action in the workflow. This makes workflows more flexible and better suited for scenarios that require adaptive decision-making.

  • Prompts

    Prompts are natural language instructions that guide agent or task behavior, such as summarizing content, generating plans, extracting information, or making decisions. They define the core behavior of AI-driven workflow steps in a format that is easy to author, maintain, and reuse.

  • Internal Tools

    Internal tools provide built-in capabilities for common agent use cases. These tools expand what agents can do during execution, such as performing calculations, invoking APIs, interacting with services, or carrying out other task-specific operations required by the workflow.

  • Model context protocol (MCP) server

    MCP servers allow agents to securely access external tools and services in a standardized way. MicroTx Workflows supports MCP integration with authentication, enabling developers to extend agent capabilities while maintaining controlled and secure access to external systems.

Topics

  • About Conversational Agent Chat
    Conversational Agent Chat lets client applications interact with MicroTx Workflows agent profiles through REST APIs. You can use this feature to build custom chat experiences where users ask questions, receive streamed agent responses, and continue a conversation with retained context.
  • Manage Prompt Template Definitions
    MicroTx Workflows enables you to define and manage reusable prompt templates for AI-powered workflow execution in a centralized way. Use prompt templates to drive GenAI Tasks for single-prompt AI use cases and Agentic Planner tasks for dynamic task and tool orchestration.
  • Manage Agent Profiles
    An agent profile provides the centralized configuration for reusable AI agents in MicroTx Workflows.
