Use a Workflow when:
You need orchestrated, multi-step execution with flexible control flow and a predictable outcome. Workflows are ideal for:- Sequential processes - Step-by-step agent executions with dependencies
- Parallel execution - Running independent tasks simultaneously
- Conditional logic - Dynamic routing based on content analysis
- Quality assurance - Iterative loops with end conditions
- Complex pipelines - Mixed components (agents, teams, functions) with branching
- Structured processes - Data transformation with predictable patterns
Use an Agent Team when:
Your task requires reasoning, collaboration, or multi-tool decision-making. Agent Teams are best for:- Research and planning
- Tasks where agents divide responsibilities
💡 Pro Tip
Think of Workflows as assembly lines for known tasks, and Agent Teams as collaborative task forces for solving open-ended problems.
