Chain Flow
A workflow that chains multiple agents sequentially to automate complex tasks.
Definition
Chain Flow is a workflow that sequentially connects multiple AI agents to automatically complete complex tasks. At each step, a specialized agent performs its role and passes the result to the next agent.
Understanding Through Analogy
Think of a factory conveyor belt. In a car factory, one person doesn't build an entire car from start to finish. Frame assembly, engine installation, painting, interior, inspection - each step has a specialist. Chain Flow works the same way. The best agent handles each step.
