15-Minute Quickstart
Welcome to the future of AI automation! You're about to discover AgenticFlow's most powerful feature - the Workforce - a visual multi-agent system that lets multiple AI agents work together seamlessly.
Think of it like having a team of AI specialists, each with their own expertise, collaborating on complex tasks while you watch everything unfold in real-time through a beautiful visual interface.
🎯 What You'll Build in 15 Minutes
By the end of this guide, you'll have created your first AI workforce that can:
Research a topic using multiple specialized agents
Analyze findings from different perspectives
Generate a comprehensive report automatically
Delegate tasks between agents intelligently
Monitor the entire process visually
Perfect for: Content creation, research projects, business analysis, complex automation, and any task requiring multiple AI perspectives.
🚀 Step 1: Access the Workforce Builder
Log into AgenticFlow and navigate to your dashboard
Click "Create New" → "Workforce" (you'll see the star ⭐ indicating it's our flagship feature)
Select "Start from Scratch" for this tutorial (templates available for advanced users)
📸 Screenshot needed: Dashboard with Workforce creation button highlighted
What you'll see: A beautiful React Flow visual canvas where you'll drag, drop, and connect your AI agents.
🧠 Step 2: Understanding the Workforce Interface
The Workforce builder has several key areas:
📊 Visual Canvas (Center)
Drag & drop interface for building your AI team
Real-time connections between agents
Live execution monitoring with progress indicators
🔧 Smart Node Palette (Left)
Agent Nodes: Your AI team members
Tool Nodes: Actions agents can take
Trigger Nodes: How workflows start
State Nodes: Data flow and conditions
⚙️ Configuration Panel (Right)
Node settings when you select any component
Agent configuration with our 11-tab system
Connection properties and conditional logic
📸 Screenshot needed: Full Workforce interface with labeled areas
🤖 Step 3: Create Your First AI Agent
Let's start by creating a research specialist:
Drag an "Agent Node" from the palette to the canvas
Double-click to open the agent configuration
Configure the Basic Tab:
Name: "Research Specialist"
Role: "Expert researcher and fact-finder"
Description: "Specializes in gathering and verifying information"
Configure the AI Model (Model Tab):
Provider: OpenAI (or your preferred model)
Model: GPT-4 (recommended for research tasks)
Temperature: 0.2 (lower for more focused research)
Set the System Prompt (System Prompt Tab):
Add Research Tools (MCP Tab):
Enable "Google Search" for web research
Enable "Website Content Extractor" for detailed analysis
Enable "PDF Analysis" if researching documents
📸 Screenshot needed: Agent configuration dialog showing the 11 tabs
📊 Step 4: Add an Analysis Agent
Now let's create an analyst to work with the research findings:
Drag another Agent Node to the canvas
Configure it as "Data Analyst":
Role: "Analytical thinker and pattern recognizer"
System Prompt: Focus on finding insights, trends, and actionable conclusions
Temperature: 0.3 (slightly higher for creative analysis)
Connect the agents:
Click and drag from the Research Specialist's output to the Data Analyst's input
You'll see a connecting line appear
📸 Screenshot needed: Two connected agent nodes on the canvas
⚡ Step 5: Add Intelligence and Conditions
This is where Workforce shines - intelligent routing and decision-making:
Add a Conditional Node between your agents:
Drag a "Conditional Logic" node from the palette
Position it between your two agents
Reconnect the flow through the conditional node
Configure Smart Routing:
Condition: "If research findings > 500 words, route to analyst. Otherwise, request more research."
True Path: Continue to Data Analyst
False Path: Loop back to Research Specialist with feedback
📸 Screenshot needed: Conditional logic node configuration
📝 Step 6: Add Output Generation
Finally, let's create an agent to compile the final report:
Add a "Report Generator" agent at the end of your flow
Configure it for content creation:
System Prompt: Focus on creating well-structured, professional reports
Enable tools: Document generation, formatting tools
Add a "File Output" node:
Connect from Report Generator
Configure to save as PDF or Markdown
Set naming: Use timestamp and topic variables
🚀 Step 7: Test Your Workforce
Time to see your AI team in action!
Click "Run Workforce" at the top of the interface
Enter a test topic: "Latest trends in renewable energy technology"
Watch the magic happen:
Research Specialist gathers information
Conditional logic evaluates the findings
Data Analyst processes the research
Report Generator creates the final document
What You'll See:
Real-time progress on each node
Live data flow between agents
Decision points as conditions are evaluated
Final output generated and saved
