[0.2] System design
System
Make models work together.
Design systems that coordinate and manage individual AI models.
01 Overview
Give every model a role in the workflow.
Define how models, tools, and people hand work to one another. Review the workflow as a whole so you can see where an input came from, what happened to it, and where a decision was made.
02 Capabilities
Design the workflow end to end.
Compose the workflow
Assign a clear responsibility to each model or tool and define what it passes to the next step.
Route the work
Plan how different inputs take different paths and where someone should review a result.
Test the handoffs
Trace representative cases through the workflow and examine how it handles missing or uncertain inputs.
03 Workflow
From individual models to one system.
Map the inputs and decisions
Identify the information the workflow needs and who relies on the result.
Connect the components
Specify the data each step receives and produces.
Walk through real scenarios
Test routine cases and exceptions before taking the workflow into an application.
