🎬 See it in Action

Running tasks in parallel with task manager

Below an example of running the task manager (12 tasks) that get run in parallel. All these tasks are being run in parallel, so that run pretty quickly.

Creating an orchestration to separate a prompt into tasks and run them in parallel with the orchestrator

The example below illustrates how you can use the orchestrator to take a single prompt, have it get broken down into subtasks and then have it run the task manager.

Creating approval with workflow

The example below highlights how to create approval workflows that can have optional approval gates in them.
