🤖 Step 3: Create Your First AI Agent

Let's start by creating a research specialist:

  1. Drag an "Agent Node" from the palette to the canvas

  2. Double-click to open the agent configuration

  3. Configure the Basic Tab:

    • Name: "Research Specialist"

    • Role: "Expert researcher and fact-finder"

    • Description: "Specializes in gathering and verifying information"

  4. 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)

  5. Set the System Prompt (System Prompt Tab):

    You are a professional research specialist. When given a topic:
1. Break down the research into key areas
2. Find reliable sources and current information
3. Summarize findings clearly and concisely
4. Always cite your sources
5. Flag any uncertainties or conflicting information

  6. 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:

  1. Drag another Agent Node to the canvas

  2. 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)

  3. 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:

  1. 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

  2. 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:

  1. Add a "Report Generator" agent at the end of your flow

  2. Configure it for content creation:

    • System Prompt: Focus on creating well-structured, professional reports

    • Enable tools: Document generation, formatting tools

  3. 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!

  1. Click "Run Workforce" at the top of the interface

  2. Enter a test topic: "Latest trends in renewable energy technology"

  3. 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
