Stage 7: Agent-Mediated Scientific Workflows

Agents that build workflows, not just execute them.

Task

Allow agents to dynamically construct, adapt, and execute scientific workflows—bridging agentic AI with existing workflow systems.

Why This Matters

Traditional workflows are static. Agent-mediated workflows adapt to results, handle exceptions intelligently, and integrate naturally with DOE’s existing workflow infrastructure (Parsl, Globus Flows, etc.).
