Workflow AI Agents

Agents are AI-powered assistants pre-configured for each tool you connect to Victoria AI.

May 1, 2025

Agents are AI-powered assistants pre-configured for each tool you connect to Victoria AI. They can be added to workflows to perform specialized tasks, using the context from the entire workflow to make decisions and complete actions.

Each agent requires a prompt to define its instructions and a sequence to define how it will complete its task.

What Are Agents?

In Victoria AI, Agents are pre-configured AI assistants that specialize in a specific tool or platform. When you connect a tool (like Slack, Notion, Asana, or QuickBooks), an agent for that tool becomes available for use in your workflows.

These agents are designed to understand and perform actions that are specific to their assigned tool. For example, a Notion agent knows how to create, update, and retrieve pages, while a QuickBooks agent understands how to generate invoices or pull financial reports.

How Agents Work in Workflows

Agents are added as steps in your workflows. When an agent runs, it has access to the context of the entire workflow, including data and results from previous steps. This allows agents to make informed decisions and perform tasks based on what has already happened in the workflow.

For example, an agent can:

  • Use data fetched in a previous step.
  • Make decisions based on previous step outputs.
  • Pass results to subsequent workflow steps.

Configuring an Agent

Each agent step in a workflow has two key configuration areas:

Prompt

The Prompt is where you define the specific instructions for the agent. This tells the agent exactly what you want it to do in this step of the workflow. Example prompts might be:

  • "Create a new task in Asana using the project name from Step 2."
  • "Summarize the Notion page content pulled in Step 3."

Sequence

The Sequence defines the order of tools and actions the agent will use to complete its task. This helps guide the agent in how to approach the job.

Special AI Agents

Special AI agents like the Webhook Agent work a bit differently than those connected to workspace tools and are specialized in a single function like sending and receiving data from customizable outside sources.

Recap

  • Agents are specialized AI assistants for each connected tool.
  • They use the context of the entire workflow to make informed decisions.
  • Users define a Prompt to instruct the agent on its task.
  • Users define a Sequence to guide the agent through the required steps and tools.

By leveraging agents, you can create powerful, context-aware workflows that automate complex, multi-step tasks across your entire workspace.
