When to use a team
Use a team when tasks require judgment about who should handle what. Use a workflow when the steps are always the same.What teams can do
- delegate sub-tasks to specialized agents
- combine research, writing, and sending in one run
- handle complex goals that require multiple perspectives
- adapt dynamically based on what each step produces
Create a team
Example: lead generation team
| Agent | Role |
|---|---|
| Coordinator | Manages the overall process |
| Researcher | Finds company and contact information |
| Writer | Drafts personalized outreach messages |
| Sender | Sends messages via Gmail |
Teams vs workflows
| Teams | Workflows | |
|---|---|---|
| Structure | Collaborative | Linear (step A → step B) |
| Task routing | Dynamic, based on goal | Fixed, pre-defined |
| Best for | Tasks requiring judgment | Repeatable, predictable processes |
