Overview

The Workflow Agent builds a workflow pipeline from a natural-language prompt. It opens in a panel at the bottom of the workflow design screen and translates a described data operation — load, merge, save — into connected nodes on the canvas.

The agent binds to data through @ datasource references. A datasource named in a prompt must be connected in Datasource Management beforehand; the agent resolves the reference and any relative instruction, such as saving to the same database, to that datasource.

Note: A Workflow in the UI corresponds to a Weave pipeline in product documentation. This reference uses “Workflow.”

When to use it

  • Building a pipeline by description rather than placing nodes manually.
  • Loading a table from a connected datasource and merging it with another.
  • Producing a starting pipeline that can then be refined on the canvas.

Prompt references

ElementDescription
@datasourceReferences a datasource by name, for example @Hospital_records. The datasource must already be connected in Datasource Management.
Source tableThe table to load from the referenced datasource.
Merge tableA further table to merge into the pipeline, each referenced with its @ datasource.
Save targetWhere the result is written. “Same db” resolves to the datasource referenced in the prompt; another datasource can be named instead.

Key behaviors

@ binds to connected datasources only. An @ reference resolves to a datasource connected in Datasource Management. A name that is not connected cannot be referenced.

Relative save targets resolve to the referenced datasource. When a prompt instructs the agent to save to the same database, the target is the datasource referenced earlier in that prompt rather than a new connection.
