What Are AI-Guided Workflows?
How intent, developer-defined steps, navigation, readiness, and completion fit together in an AI-guided workflow.

The practical problem
A guided workflow turns a user request into an explicit sequence of supported product steps. Teams should begin with a narrow and observable task, describe the user goal and product state, then test the supported next step with real permissions, loading states, and interruptions. This keeps guidance useful without making unsupported assumptions about the interface.
How to approach it
A reliable flow accounts for navigation, loading time, and the moment a target becomes available. Teams should begin with a narrow and observable task, describe the user goal and product state, then test the supported next step with real permissions, loading states, and interruptions. This keeps guidance useful without making unsupported assumptions about the interface.
Implementation considerations
Completion should be observed by the host or explicitly marked; it should not be guessed from a model response. Teams should begin with a narrow and observable task, describe the user goal and product state, then test the supported next step with real permissions, loading states, and interruptions. This keeps guidance useful without making unsupported assumptions about the interface.
