Agents that build workflows, not just execute them.
Allow agents to dynamically construct, adapt, and execute scientific workflows—bridging agentic AI with existing workflow systems.
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.).
