Agentic Workflow

A process where a model plans and executes a sequence of tool calls — look up an order, check stock, draft a reply — rather than answering a single question.

Where it earns its keep

Multi-step work with clear tools and verifiable outcomes: matching an invoice to a GRN and a PO, then queuing the exceptions. The agent does the fetching and comparing; the human handles what does not reconcile.

Where it goes wrong

Agents compound errors across steps. Every action with a financial or physical consequence stays behind an approval, and every run is logged step by step so a wrong outcome can be traced to the step that caused it.
