Examples for the agentic workflows discussed in Building Effective Agents by Erik Schluntz and Barry Zhang of Anthropic, inspired, ported and adapted from the code samples by the authors using Pydantic AI.

Using AI model: openai:gpt-4oWorkflow: Prompt Chaining
The first and simplest workflow, chaining, we feed the output of one LLM call to the next one, and complete our task step by step.
All LLM calls are handled by the
Agentclass. One feature we take advantage of here is a consistent interface for different LLM providers. The model name is provided to the constructor and from there, the calls are the same regardless of which provider and model we are using.

Workflow: Routing
In the routing workflow, we rely on an LLM call to decide which of several options to take. An AI agent is now handling part of the logic of the app.
result_typefor every agent and receive the parsed and validated Pydantic model instance from the LLM call. This is easily one of the best ways of interfacing between code and LLM calls, and we’ll be using it for most workflows.

The user is experiencing issues accessing their account, specifically with login credentials. The frustration of repeated login failures and the urgency of needing access suggests that they are locked out due to some authentication problem, which is typically handled by the account support team. Since the query is tightly associated with account access, routing this ticket to the account team is appropriate.

Account Support Response:
Dear John,
I understand the urgency of your situation and I am here to assist you in regaining access to your account securely. Please follow these steps to recover your account:
1. **Password Reset:** Initiate a password reset by clicking on the "Forgot Password?" link on the login page. Follow the instructions sent to your registered email address to set a new, strong password.
2. **Verify Email Security:** Ensure that you have access to the email address connected to your account. Check for any suspicious activity or unauthorized access to your email.
3. **Check Device Security:** Ensure that the device you are using to access your account is secure and free from malware. Use updated antivirus software to scan for any threats.
4. **Enable Two-Factor Authentication (2FA):** Once access is restored, enable 2FA for an additional layer of security. This will help protect your account in the future.
5. **Review Account Activity:** After regaining access, review recent account activity for any unauthorized transactions or changes. Report any suspicious activity immediately.
Please allow up to 24 hours for password reset processes to take full effect. We recommend taking these actions promptly to prevent any potential breaches.
**Security Tip:** Avoid using the same password across multiple platforms and update your passwords regularly.
Should you continue experiencing issues or require further assistance, do not hesitate to contact our support team directly.
Thank you for your vigilance and cooperation in keeping your account secure.
Sincerely,
Account Security Specialist

Billing Support Response:
Hello Sarah,
Thank you for reaching out regarding the unexpected charge on your credit card. Let's address this billing issue and find a solution.
Upon reviewing your account, I see that you were indeed signed up for the $29.99 monthly plan previously. However, it appears there was an upgrade to the $49.99 plan on [specific date, if known]. This upgrade might have been initiated either through a selection within your account or via an automatic update based on usage which sometimes triggers a tier change.
Here are the steps we'll take to ensure this is resolved:
1. **Immediate Review**: We'll verify if this upgrade was accidental. This will be completed within 24-48 hours.
2. **Adjustment**: If this upgrade was not authorized or appears to be an error, we will adjust your charge back to $29.99 and issue a refund of the difference. This process usually takes 5-7 business days to reflect back on your credit card.
3. **Confirmation**: You will receive an email confirmation once the refund has been processed or if there's any action needed on your part to adjust your plan settings.
If this was an authorized plan upgrade and you still prefer the $29.99 plan, I can assist you in switching back immediately.
For your convenience, we accept payments via major credit cards and PayPal. Please let me know if there is anything else you need assistance with.
Thank you,
Billing Support Team

Technical Support Response:
To export your project data to Excel, please follow these steps:
1. **Open the Software**: Launch the application where your project data is stored.
2. **Navigate to the Export Section**: Go to the 'File' menu and look for an 'Export' or 'Data Export' option. This option might also be in a separate 'Data' or 'Tools' menu, depending on the software.
3. **Select Data to Export**: Choose the specific project or projects you wish to export. Some applications provide a checklist to select multiple projects at once.
4. **Choose Export Format**: Select 'Excel' or 'CSV' as your export format. If 'Excel' is not directly available, choose 'CSV', which can easily be opened with Excel.
5. **Configure Export Settings**: You may have options like 'Export all fields' or 'Include headers'. Ensure they are checked according to your need.
6. **Choose Destination**: Specify where you want to save the exported file on your computer.
7. **Export Data**: Click on the 'Export' button to start the process.
8. **Open with Excel**: Once exported, go to the saved location and open the file with Excel to confirm the data is correct.
**System Requirements**: Ensure you have Microsoft Excel installed. The basic version of Microsoft Excel 2010 or later is recommended.
**Workarounds for Common Problems**:
- If the 'Export' option is not visible, check your software’s documentation or user permissions. Sometimes, only admin users can perform bulk exports.
- If exporting to Excel results in format errors, export to CSV instead, then open the CSV file in Excel and use the 'Text to Columns' feature to organize your data properly.
**Escalation Path**:
If these steps do not resolve your issue, please contact our support team directly at [Support Email] with the description of your problem. Additionally, provide screenshots if possible, and mention any error messages received during the export process. Our advanced technical team will assist you further.
Thank you for reaching out, and we hope this assists you in exporting your project data smoothly.
Best regards,

Workflow: Parallelization
LLM calls are typically long-running, I/O-bound operations. They are also stateless, so in cases where one call doesn’t depend on the other, it makes a lot of sense to parallelize the calls and continue processing once we receive the responses from all of them.
Agent.run()is an asynchronous call, and in the code here is asnchronous by default. Pydantic AI also provides anAgent.run_sync()method for cases where you’re writing synchronous code.
async def parallel(prompt: str, inputs: List[str]) -> List[str]:
"""Process multiple inputs concurrently with the same prompt."""
