A single agent can answer questions and take actions. But real enterprise automation rarely fits in a single agent.

Complex business processes need agents that coordinate — passing context, splitting work, waiting for approvals, and converging on results. That is where workflows come in.

This session dives into how Microsoft Foundry approaches multi-agent orchestration through workflow agents — the declarative, visual layer that lets you connect agents into coordinated pipelines without writing orchestration code.

You will understand the architecture behind workflow agents, how they manage state and context across steps, and how to design workflows that are repeatable, observable, and maintainable.

The session also draws a clear boundary: where visual orchestration is the right tool, and where its limits push you toward code-first approaches.
