Overview
AI workflows should be engineered as stateful, observable processes with clear control points and business KPI accountability.
Build Process
- identify workflow objective, states, and transitions
- design where AI decisions fit and where deterministic logic stays
- add tool integrations with validation and retries
- implement quality checks and escalation policies
- monitor outcomes and iterate by stage-level metrics
Common Mistakes to Avoid
- overusing AI where rules are sufficient
- no explicit handling for uncertain outputs
- lack of idempotency and replay controls
- insufficient instrumentation of branch failures
