Teach it once
The process is taught once. Every AI and every person then runs it the same way.
Guides and a working glossary for governed AI agent workflows, from the team behind ConvOps. Every idea comes with a picture of how it moves: plain words first, the engine second.

The process
Agentic workflowA process the AI runs step by step, checked by an engine.MCP (Model Context Protocol)The open protocol that plugs ConvOps into your AI tool.Workflow policyA rule delivered inside the step where it applies.Graph engineeringSmall workflows behind one door, walked one step at a time.Workflow routerOne door for new work. A decision picks the exit.Sub-workflowA detour on the same task. The parent waits, then carries on.Fix loopFailed work goes back through a fix and comes round again.Workflow fragmentShared steps written once, embedded in many workflows.MCP serverExposes tools and data to any AI client that speaks MCP.Human decisions
Workflow gateA condition the engine checks. Until it is met, the run waits.Human-in-the-loopThe process stops at named moments for a person to decide.Dual attributionEvery change records the agent and the signed-in person, separately.Governed AI agent workflowA process agents run step by step, with stops the engine checks.Row-level security (multi-tenant)The database itself keeps each tenant's rows apart.Running it
Attended executionYou drive the AI. The engine supplies the steps.Unattended executionNobody at the keyboard. People join only at gates.Work poolA live saved query that hands the loop one task, or none.Child tasksSplit the work. Same order starts together. The parent waits.MCP clientThe part of your AI tool that talks to MCP servers.Agent executorWhich agent runs the work, and where.Headless agentAn AI agent run with no interface and nobody watching.Short films and a course that show the same ideas running. They are being finished now.
The process is taught once. Every AI and every person then runs it the same way.
A decision made in one AI tool, still there when another tool opens a new chat.
Approvals on every step first. Then let the work run on its own as trust grows.
