ControlFlow is an open-source Python framework developed by Prefect for orchestrating AI-powered workflows. It enables developers to break down complex AI tasks into discrete, manageable steps, assign specialized AI agents to each task, and combine these tasks into cohesive flows. ControlFlow integrates seamlessly with large language models (LLMs) like OpenAI's GPT-4 and Anthropic's Claude, allowing for flexible and transparent AI development. Key features include structured results, multi-agent orchestration, and native observability, making it suitable for building robust, intelligent applications.
Developing AI workflows with clear, manageable steps.
Assigning specialized AI agents to specific tasks for efficient problem-solving.
Orchestrating complex behaviors by combining tasks into flows.
Integrating AI capabilities into existing Python codebases.
ControlFlow enables high autonomy within structured boundaries by allowing AI agents to make decisions, collaborate, and use tools while maintaining developer oversight through task definitions and flow orchestration. Agents demonstrate substantial autonomy in task execution (e.g., dynamic genre selection in storytelling workflows) and multi-agent coordination (debates between specialized agents). However, workflows remain constrained by predefined task structures, model configurations, and explicit completion rules that prevent full self-direction.
