The Collaboration section enables multiple agents to work together on complex tasks, forming teams with specialized roles and workflows that coordinate their activities.

Collaboration Overview

The collaboration system has several components:

Teams

Group agents for collaborative tasks

Workflows

Define multi-step processes

Workflow Designer

Visually create and edit workflows

Execution Monitoring

Track collaborative processes

Teams

The Teams section allows you to group agents for collaborative tasks:

  • Define team purpose and scope
  • Set team name and description
  • Configure team settings
  • Establish team goals

Workflows

The Workflows section allows you to define multi-step processes:

1

Workflow Definition

Create the overall structure and purpose

2

Step Configuration

Define individual workflow steps

3

Transition Rules

Set conditions for moving between steps

4

Data Mapping

Configure how information flows through the workflow

Workflow features include:

  • Sequential and parallel execution paths
  • Conditional branching based on results
  • Looping and iteration capabilities
  • Error handling and recovery procedures
  • Timeout and fallback mechanisms
  • Checkpoint and resumption support

Workflow Designer

The Workflow Designer provides a visual interface for creating and editing workflows:

Visual Editor

Drag-and-drop interface for workflow creation

Connection Mapping

Define how steps connect and interact

Testing Tools

Validate workflow functionality

Version Control

Track changes and manage versions

Designer capabilities include:

  • Intuitive drag-and-drop interface
  • Real-time validation and error checking
  • Step templates and patterns
  • Simulation and testing tools
  • Collaboration features for team editing
  • Import/export functionality

Execution Monitoring

The Execution Monitoring section helps you track collaborative processes:

  • Current workflow state
  • Active and pending steps
  • Agent status and activity
  • Progress indicators
