Functional Workflow Basics — Orchestrate async functions with @workflow
The functional API lets you write workflows as plain Python async functions.
No graph concepts, no edges, no executor classes — just call functions
and use native control flow (if/else, loops, asyncio.gather).
This sample builds a minimal pipeline with two steps:
1. Convert text to uppercase
2. Reverse the text
No external services are required.

import asyncio
from agent_framework import workflow
# Plain async functions — no decorators needed
async def to_upper_case(text: str) -> str:
"""Convert input to uppercase."""
return text.upper()
async def reverse_text(text: str) -> str:
"""Reverse the string."""
return text[::-1]
#
@workflow
async def text_workflow(text: str) -> str:
"""Uppercase the text, then reverse it."""
upper = await to_upper_case(text)
return await reverse_text(upper)

#
result = await text_workflow.run("hello world")
print(f"Output: {result.get_outputs()}")
