Task Planning compared to standard Agent workflows
Task planning comparison with standard agent workflows outlines the functional, behavioral, and interface differences between standard execution and enhanced, multi-step task planning modes.
The following table outlines the differences in agent performance and interface visibility when
task planning is active compared to a standard workflow
process:
| Feature | Standard workflows | Enhanced workflows with task planning |
|---|---|---|
| Agent tools | Limited to user-configured tools | User tools augmented by 4 built-in to-do tools |
| Agent behaviour | Direct task execution | Initial planning followed by sequential execution |
| Runtime interface | Displays thought stream only | Displays thought stream along with an agent-specific To-Dos progress card |
| Visibility | Visibility into model and tool calls | Granular visibility into task breakdown and progress |
| Recommended use | Basic, single-step requests | Complex, multi-step tasks requiring progress tracking |
