Workflow Getting Started Samples

The workflow samples demonstrate the fundamental concepts and functionality of workflows in Agent Framework.

Samples Overview

Foundational Concepts - Start Here

Please begin with the Start Here samples in order. These three samples introduce the core concepts of executors, edges, agents in workflows, streaming, and workflow construction.

The folder name starts with an underscore (_StartHere) to ensure it appears first in the explorer view.

Sample Concepts
Streaming Extends workflows with event streaming
Agents Use agents in workflows
Agentic Workflow Patterns Demonstrates common agentic workflow patterns
Multi-Service Workflows Shows using multiple AI services in the same workflow
Sub-Workflows Demonstrates composing workflows hierarchically by embedding workflows as executors
Mixed Workflow with Agents and Executors Shows how to mix agents and executors with adapter pattern for type conversion and protocol handling
Writer-Critic Workflow Demonstrates iterative refinement with quality gates, max iteration safety, multiple message handlers, and conditional routing for feedback loops

Once completed, please proceed to the other samples listed below.

Agents

Sample Concepts
Foundry Agents in Workflows Demonstrates using Azure Foundry agents in a workflow through ChatClientAgent
Custom Agent Executors Shows how to create a custom agent executor for more complex scenarios
Workflow as an Agent Illustrates how to encapsulate a workflow as an agent
Group Chat with Tool Approval Shows multi-agent group chat with tool approval requests and human-in-the-loop interaction

Concurrent Execution

Sample Concepts
Fan-Out and Fan-In Introduces parallel processing with fan-out and fan-in patterns

Loop

Sample Concepts
Looping Shows how to create a loop within a workflow

Workflow Shared States

Sample Concepts
Shared States Demonstrates shared states between executors for data sharing and coordination

Conditional Edges

Sample Concepts
Edge Conditions Introduces conditional edges for dynamic routing based on executor outputs
Switch-Case Routing Extends conditional edges with switch-case routing for multiple paths
Multi-Selection Routing Demonstrates multi-selection routing where one executor can trigger multiple downstream executors
