Workflows - Guiding Agents to Achieve a Final Goal with Intelligent Orchestration #294
Description
Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
While VoltAgent excels at creating highly capable individual agents, current approaches for larger problems often involve:
Manual Chaining: Developers have to explicitly code the sequence of agent calls, data passing, and error handling for every multi-step process. This is time-consuming, prone to errors, and scales poorly for complex workflows.
Lack of Adaptability: Predefined sequences struggle when faced with dynamic inputs, unexpected intermediate results, or when the optimal path isn't known beforehand. They lack the intelligence to adapt their execution based on real-time feedback.
Absence of Goal-Oriented Autonomy: Developers need to manage the overall "project" or "goal" themselves, constantly checking if intermediate steps are truly leading to the final desired outcome. There's no inherent mechanism for the agents themselves to understand a higher-level objective and drive towards it autonomously through iterative refinement.
The "Workflows" feature solves these problems by abstracting away the low-level orchestration, introducing an intelligent, self-correcting system that can dynamically guide agents towards a defined final goal, significantly enhancing the autonomy and capability of VoltAgent applications.

Describe the thing to improve
The thing to improve is VoltAgent's current capability for autonomous, goal-driven orchestration of multiple agents.
While VoltAgent allows for multi-agent systems and tool integration, developers still largely bear the burden of:
Manually defining rigid agent sequences.
Implementing custom logic for conditional execution and error handling.
Continuously checking if the overall "big goal" of a complex task is being met.
The "Workflows" feature directly addresses this by introducing an intelligent, built-in orchestrator that handles these complexities dynamically and iteratively, freeing developers to define the desired end-goal rather than the precise execution steps.
