Planning is a key agentic AI design pattern in which we use a large language model (LLM) to autonomously decide on what sequence of steps to execute to accomplish a larger task. For example, if we ask an agent to do online research on a given topic, we might use an LLM to break

AI Task Analysis Automates Job Impact Assessment at Scale
By

The task-based analysis of how AI affects jobs is a powerful technique for creating business value. It was pioneered by Workhelix’s @erikbryn et al. Now, Workhelix has developed technology to apply this at scale, by automatically examining a company’s job descriptions,

Tool Use in LLM-Based Agentic Workflows
By
–
Tool use, in which an LLM is given functions it can request to call for gathering information, taking action, or manipulating data, is a key design pattern of AI agentic workflows. You may be familiar with LLM-based systems that can perform a web search or execute code. Some of

Four Design Patterns for AI Agentic Workflows Driving Progress

Last week, I described four design patterns for AI agentic workflows that I believe will drive significant progress this year: Reflection, Tool use, Planning and Multi-agent collaboration. Instead of having an LLM generate its final output directly, an agentic workflow prompts

Token Speed Critical for Agentic AI Workflows
By
–
Yes, with agentic workflows, super fast token generation (like @groq
) becomes very important to overall system speed. If an LLM were generating tokens only for human consumption, then there's not much value to generating much faster than human reading speed. But with agentic
