agentic workflow

noun

1. An AI system design where a language model autonomously plans and executes multi-step tasks, calling tools, retrieving data, and making decisions across a sequence of actions rather than responding to a single prompt.
2. In regulatory intelligence, agentic workflows can chain together filing retrieval, entity extraction, cross-referencing, and summarization into a single automated analysis, though each step introduces potential error that must be monitored and validated.
