AI Agent or Workflow? Dify Explains How to Choose the Right Solution

Dify's article explains the difference between AI Agents and Workflows. An Agent allows the model to select its next step from approved tools during runtime, while a Workflow has steps and branches defined in advance by the builder. The article suggests using a Workflow when the process is fixed and repeatable, or an Agent when sequential judgment is needed. It also notes that Agents can be embedded within Workflows to handle individual flexible segments.
