What Are Workflow Agents?

An introduction to agents and how they automate multi-step document workflows.

Workflow agents are automated pipelines that chain together a series of AI operations on your documents. Instead of manually running extractions or reports one at a time, you define a sequence of steps — and the agent runs them automatically every time you trigger it.

What agents can do

  • Extract specific fields from uploaded documents

  • Process and transform extracted data (e.g. normalise dates, calculate totals)

  • Generate reports or summaries from document content

  • Export results to connected apps (Google Sheets, Notion, Slack, etc.)

  • Compare documents and flag differences

How agents work

An agent is made up of nodes — individual processing steps — connected by edges that define the order in which steps execute. You build agents in the visual editor by adding nodes and drawing connections between them. When you run an agent, it executes each node in sequence, passing the output of one step as the input to the next.
