What is AI workflow automation?
AI workflow automation places model capabilities such as classification, extraction, summarization, enrichment, or generation inside a repeatable business process with deterministic rules, integrations, validation, and human review where needed.
Is an AI workflow the same as an AI agent?
Not necessarily. Many production problems are better served by bounded model calls inside deterministic orchestration. Agentic behavior is useful when the task genuinely requires tool selection or adaptive multi-step reasoning.
How do you make AI workflows safer to operate?
I separate model judgment from irreversible actions, validate outputs, constrain available tools and data, preserve review states, log useful execution context, and define recovery behavior before launch.
