Suitable tasks
Coordinate deterministic steps and AI tasks in a business process.
Limits and checks
A moved interface or failed step may leave partial state. Distinguish probabilistic decisions from deterministic operations.
A repeatable trial
Simulate record entry with human approval and an unavailable service. Check stopping, record state and recovery without a second creation.
How to decide
Keep the process when every partial state is identifiable and irreversible operations remain controlled.
Frequently asked questions
Do a robot and an agent play the same role?
Define fixed-rule steps and steps interpreting a situation, then test their exchanges.
Official documentation and scope
