# Agentic Flow Builder

The Agentic Flow Builder is the environment for building multi-step AI agents as directed acyclic graphs (DAGs).

You can connect components — agents, data sources, knowledge bases, logic, integrations — using input/output handles, and the platform executes them as an orchestrated pipeline.

Use Agentic Flow when you need:

- **Multi-step reasoning** — the agent must retrieve data, process it, call a model, and act on the result across several steps.
- **Tool and API orchestration** — the flow calls external APIs, executes code, queries databases, or accesses knowledge bases as part of answering a request.
- **Conditional branching and looping** — the path through the flow depends on model output, data values, or confidence scores.
- **Composability** — flows can call other agents — agentic flows and Voice Agents — as tools, allowing complex agents to be built from reusable sub-flows.

For straightforward rule-guided conversations with deterministic routing, use the [Chatbot Builder](../8_chatbot_builder/index.html) instead. For phone-based agents, use the [Voice Agent Builder](../10_voice_agent_builder/index.html).

To start from a pre-built workflow, or to share one of your flows with other workspaces, see [Templates](templates.html).
