Using AI Employees as Agents

This guide explains how to embed one AI Employee inside another's workflow. This capability enables sophisticated, multi-step workflows by chaining specialized AI Employees -- for example, having a conversational agent trigger a document generation process.

Supported AI Employee Types

Part 1: Making an AI Employee Callable (Callee Configuration)

This feature must be explicitly enabled on the callee AI Employee:

1. Ensure the AI Employee is enabled.
2. Navigate to the Permissions tab of the AI Employee.
3. Turn on the option Enable this AI Employee as an agent in your workspace. This step generates an agent that can be used in other AI Employees' workflows.

Part 2: Invoking the AI Employee (Caller Configuration)

Within the workflow of the calling AI Employee (the caller), add the agent generated from the callee AI Employee and create the appropriate connections:

1. Navigate to the caller AI Employee's workflow canvas.
2. Open Add an Agent in the top-left corner of the canvas.
3. Navigate to the AI Employees category in the agent list, where you will find the callee AI Employee.
4. Add the callee to the canvas. You will now be able to create connections.

Disabling a Callee AI Employee

To disable the callee AI Employee's callable configuration:

1. Navigate to the Permissions tab of the callee AI Employee.
2. Turn off the option Enable this AI Employee as an agent in your workspace.

This will prevent the AI Employee from showing up in the agents section, mark the existing usages as "unavailable," and fail the execution of these workflows.
