Agentic Workflows and Next-Gen AI

This guide walks you through how an AI platform can independently plan, manage, and complete projects, reducing the need for your constant supervision. It can research topics, gather data, draft content, and refine its work until it meets your requirements.

How the Workflow Works

1. Planning Tasks The AI breaks your request into smaller steps.
2. Carrying Out the Work It searches the web, writes copy, or processes data while tracking its progress.
3. Correcting Itself It updates any outdated or incorrect details on its own.
4. Delivering the Result It hands over the final output (like a report or spreadsheet) and shows how it got there.

By letting AI handle busywork, your team can put its energy into bigger goals.

Example: OuterBox Content Writing Workflow

Here is a real-world flow that manages content creation from start to finish:

1. The agent browses a client's site, clicking on links to gather information.
2. It organizes the facts and data it finds.
3. It locates relevant images and related material.
4. It writes the complete draft for the document, following the task requirements.
5. It checks and fixes any incorrect parts or style mismatches.
6. It creates a final document in Google Drive.
7. It applies the correct formatting and styling.
8. It sends a Slack message with a link to the document.
9. It can repeat checks or corrections on its own if needed.

This process replaces multiple manual steps, freeing up time for creative or strategic work.

Why it Matters

Agentic AI can handle research, writing, and fact-checking and produce a final document that’s ready to share. Every step is logged so you can see how it all happened, which cuts down on mistakes and keeps everyone updated.

See it in Action

We can show you a live demonstration of these workflows. During a demo, the AI will:

• Research a topic you choose
• Compile relevant information and draft content
• Correct any errors it notices
• Hand over a final version with a log of its steps
