The building blocks for every automated workflow. Watch each pattern animate step-by-step with AnyCompany Finance examples.
Sequential steps — the output of one becomes the input of the next. Trades speed for accuracy. Each step can be tested and retried independently.
Multiple tasks run simultaneously on the same input. An aggregator combines the results into a unified answer. Faster and more thorough than sequential.
Classify the input and direct it to the right processing path. Like a smart mailroom — each document type gets its own optimized workflow.
The most complex pattern. A central orchestrator dynamically manages the workflow, spawning subtasks based on conditions and coordinating human-in-the-loop decisions.
Most real workflows combine 2-3 patterns. This AnyCompany PayLater application uses routing → parallelization → chaining in one pipeline.
