Overview
AI orchestration is the process of coordinating prompts, models, tools, and business logic into deterministic workflows that deliver reliable outcomes.
Core Components
- workflow engine for step sequencing
- routing logic for model and tool selection
- state and context handling across steps
- error handling, retries, and fallback behavior
Where It Works Best
- lead handling workflows across CRM and messaging
- ticket triage and escalation automation
- document workflows with extraction plus validation
- internal copilots integrated with enterprise tools
Key Design Decisions
- orchestration framework selection
- synchronous vs asynchronous workflow design
- human checkpoints for high-risk stages
- testing strategy for branch-heavy workflows
Risks and Controls
- fragile workflows with hidden branch failures
- tool dependency issues causing degraded output
- orchestration logic not version-controlled
- insufficient rollback strategy after changes
Metrics to Track
- workflow success rate
- branch-specific failure rates
- latency by workflow stage
- manual override frequency
