Overview
An AI workflow has a purpose, input data, instructions, a model or service, output format and a destination. It also needs boundaries: what the system must not do, which cases need review and how failure is handled.
Approach and context
A good design maps the process before choosing a model. It specifies quality criteria, expected volume, latency needs and whether the task benefits from retrieval, structured extraction or generation.
Testing should include normal cases, ambiguous inputs, missing data, adversarial content and changes in source material. Logs should support debugging without unnecessarily retaining sensitive content.
Practical considerations
Workflow design makes AI easier to evaluate, govern and improve over time.
Questions worth asking
Before starting a project in this area, clarify the intended audience, current process, desired outcome, available resources and constraints. Identify what evidence would show progress, what risks need mitigation and who will own the work after the initial implementation.
