Glossary term
Orchestration
Coordinating the steps of an AI-enabled process: model calls, retrieval, tools, rules, approvals, retries and error handling.
Orchestration can be simple code, a workflow engine or an agent framework.
Good orchestration makes each step observable, retryable without side effects and testable in isolation.
