What Is an Agent Application?
Agent applications are the backbone of intelligent automation in GLIK. They go beyond chatbots or scripts — orchestrating memory, logic, policy, and decision-making across enterprise workflows.
An agent application is a structured, intelligent software workflow that performs tasks on behalf of users or systems — using logic, memory, and automation to drive outcomes. In modern enterprises, agent applications are transforming how work is executed by automating decision-making, enforcing rules, and surfacing knowledge in real time.
GLIK introduces a new operational standard for agent applications: modular, memory-aware, policy-aligned, and enterprise-ready. GLIK agent applications transform isolated workflows into intelligent systems that:
Reduce manual effort
Strengthen compliance
Extend legacy systems
Improve cross-team coordination
Why Agent Applications Matter
Unlike traditional scripts or chatbots, agent applications in GLIK are designed for enterprise orchestration:
They coordinate multiple blocks of logic, memory, and input/output
They operate across workflows, not just conversations
They run with observability, structured output, and scoped access controls
Agent applications help organizations automate judgment-based decisions, reduce friction between departments, and ensure consistency in operational policy execution.
What “Workflow” Means
The word “workflow” is used in three different contexts within GLIK:
Workflow (App Type) — A specific GLIK execution model designed for automating logic using a block-based interface. It’s one of the four foundational app types alongside Chatbot, Agent, and Advanced Chat.
Workflow (Architecture) — A broader concept referring to the high-level orchestration of tasks, inputs, tools, and decisions across GLIK apps. This includes how agents interact, how memory is passed, and how execution flows are triggered across systems.
Workflow (Editor View) — The visual interface where you arrange blocks and nodes (like Variable Assigners, Tool Nodes, LLM Blocks, etc.) to construct executable logic paths. This is where low-code users build and configure the logic of any GLIK app, even outside the Workflow App Type.
In short: the Workflow App Type is one way to execute workflows — but “workflow” as a term also describes how logic flows and systems connect across all App Types.
Agentifying Enterprise Systems
One of the most powerful outcomes of agent applications is the ability to extend the life and value of legacy systems.
With GLIK, teams can overlay intelligent workflows on top of outdated, siloed, or inflexible systems — such as ERPs, internal portals, document workflows, or compliance checklists — without replacing the underlying infrastructure.
GLIK agent applications "wrap" these systems in orchestration layers — bringing real-time logic, adaptive memory, and decision routing to environments that were never designed to be intelligent.
This capability unifies disparate tools and departments into a more cohesive, traceable, and intelligent enterprise operating environment.
Characteristics of a GLIK Agent Application
Autonomous
Executes multi-step tasks without requiring user input after initiation
Memory-Aware
Tracks state, context, and past actions across sessions
Composable
Built from reusable building blocks (LLM, tools, logic, memory, inputs)
Policy-Driven
Evaluates rules, thresholds, or policy documents as part of execution
Auditable
Logs inputs, decisions, and escalations for review or compliance
Enterprise-Ready
Secure, multi-tenant, deployable via cloud or self-hosted infrastructure
From Templates to Intelligent Agents
GLIK provides system templates that can be quickly configured and deployed as agent applications. Once live, agents can:
Accept structured inputs (documents, variables, policy rules)
Trigger external APIs or tools
Return decisions, classifications, or actionable insights
Examples include:
Expense Policy Decision Engines
SOP Compliance Agents
Procurement Approval Assistants
Knowledge Routing Agents
