Architecture
Pattern Selector
Choose between patterns like RAG assistant, workflow agent, approval-gated agent, or multi-agent setup.
What the tool does
This tool helps you choose between common agent patterns such as RAG assistants, workflow agents, approval-gated agents, and multi-agent systems.
Who it's for
It is for teams that know the workflow characteristics but are unsure which architecture pattern matches them.
When to use it
Use it when the main design question is not whether to build, but how the system should be structured.
Practical Use Case
Helpful for planning agent workflows when several architectural options sound plausible and you need a clearer starting point.
Share The Result
Export results as a PDF to share in meetings, planning docs, or internal documentation.
Why This Result
- Since the system does not need to act, heavier agent patterns may be unnecessary.
Pattern Fit
Mixed pattern signals
Primary Pattern
RAG Assistant
Runner-Up
Approval-Gated Agent
RAG Knowledge Assistant
The use case depends on grounded answers from changing information sources, but does not always need independent action.
Retrieval adds the most value when freshness, documentation coverage, and source grounding matter more than autonomy.
Runner-up: Human-in-the-Loop Agent
Common Mistake To Avoid
- Do not use retrieval as a substitute for workflow state, permissions, or clarifying questions.
