Advanced Agents Certification Series
Defining Agent Workflows with Prompts & Outputs
Workshop
Do your agent workflows turn scattered prompts into predictable, testable behavior?
As you wire agents into more journeys, ad hoc prompting and opaque outputs quickly become brittle, hard to debug, and risky to reuse at scale.
To win, your GenAI solutions need to run on clear, testable agent workflows with strong input-output contracts.
The Challenge
Without a strong approach to agent workflows, teams struggle to:
- Manage prompt chains - “Good enough” prompts evolve into complex flows no one fully understands.
- Enforce contracts - Inputs are loosely defined, JSON outputs drift, and responses become inconsistent across use cases.
- Debug and evolve - Failures are hard to trace, and every new integration or feature change feels risky.
Weakly defined agent workflows will drive brittle behavior, hallucinations, and slow, painful delivery of new features.
Our Solution
In this hands-on workshop, your team designs, implements, and validates prompt-driven agent workflows using curated notebooks, repos, and realistic scenarios. Areas of focus include:
- Prompt Chaining - Design multi-step agent flows with clear state, intent, and decision points.
- JSON & Schema Outputs - Define structured output schemas that simplify orchestration, testing, and integration.
- Branching, Retries & Guardrails - Use prompts and outputs to drive safe branching, error handling, and safeguards.
- Interactive Labs & Repos - Explore workflow patterns in curated notebooks and starter code you can reuse.
- Capstone & Live Coaching - Assemble an end-to-end agent workflow and refine it with expert feedback.
Skills You'll Gain
- Cleaner Agent Workflows - Replace ad hoc prompts with clear, documented, and reusable workflow patterns.
- Higher Reliability - Enforce strong input-output contracts to reduce hallucinations and broken flows.
- Faster Change Cycles - Update prompts, branches, and outputs without destabilizing production agents.
- Better Observability - Log, trace, and debug agent decisions through consistent, structured outputs.
- Shared Design Language - Align teams on common patterns for prompts, schemas, and workflow design.
