Abstract
A system is provided for processing user queries by using an automated agent and a workflow. The system comprises reusable components that include states, tools, and/or data sources. Based on analysis of a query's content and goals, the system generates a workflow comprising a sequence of states, each state optimized for a subtask and dynamically bound to a selected tool(s) for that specific query. The workflow can provide a structured high-level control, while allowing for flexible selection of the tool(s) for each state of the workflow for that given query. The system produces a result using the structured workflow and selected tools, answering a user's original query.
