Top AI Agentic Workflow Patterns — A Practical Guide
Introduction Agentic workflows move AI beyond one-shot prompting into iterative, autonomous problem-solving by letting agents plan, act, observe, and refine—much like a human tackling a complex task. This shift yields more reliable, adaptable, and goal-directed systems for real-world, multi-step problems. In this article I explain the five core agentic workflow patterns (Reflection, Tool Use, ReAct, Planning, and Multi-Agent), show how they combine, give practical implementation guidance, example architectures, and discuss trade-offs and evaluation strategies. ...
