Overview
The Parallel Workflow pattern uses a fan-out/fan-in approach where multiple agents work on different aspects of a task simultaneously, then a coordinating agent aggregates their results.Complete Implementation
The Parallel workflow is ideal for tasks requiring multiple specialized perspectives simultaneously. Here’s a complete example using a student assignment grader:Basic Setup
Configuration Options
You can customize the parallel workflow behavior:Key Features
- Fan-Out Processing: Distribute work across multiple specialized agents
- Fan-In Aggregation: Intelligent result compilation and synthesis
- Concurrent Execution: All fan-out agents work simultaneously
- Specialized Roles: Each agent focuses on specific expertise areas
- Structured Output: Coordinated final result from aggregator agent
Use Cases
Content Review and Grading
Perfect for academic or content evaluation where multiple criteria need simultaneous assessment:- Grammar and style checking
- Factual accuracy verification
- Compliance with guidelines
- Technical quality assessment
Multi-Domain Analysis
Analyze complex topics from different expert perspectives:- Financial reports (risk, compliance, performance analysis)
- Legal documents (regulatory, contractual, liability review)
- Medical cases (diagnosis, treatment, side effects)
- Technical specifications (security, performance, usability)
Quality Assurance
Parallel validation across different testing criteria:- Code review (security, performance, maintainability)
- Product testing (functionality, UI/UX, accessibility)
- Data validation (accuracy, completeness, consistency)
Research and Information Gathering
Simultaneous information collection from specialized sources:- Market research (competitor analysis, trend analysis, customer feedback)
- Literature review (multiple databases, different methodologies)
- Due diligence (financial, legal, technical assessments)
