Learn how to build and orchestrate AI workflows

Welcome to Lyzr Orchestrator Documentation

Lyzr Orchestrator is a visual, event-driven AI workflow orchestration platform that combines the reliability of deterministic workflow engines with the flexibility of intelligent AI agents. Build complex workflows using a drag-and-drop canvas, execute them with Temporal's durable orchestration, and monitor everything in real-time.

Core Concepts

Getting Started
Quick start guide to building your first workflow

Build Your First Workflow:

  1. Create a new workflow from the dashboard
  2. Drag nodes onto the canvas
  3. Connect nodes to define execution flow
  4. Configure node properties
  5. Execute and monitor results
Node Types
Available node types and their configurations

Available Node Types:

  • AI Agents: GPT-4o, Claude, Gemini, Custom Agents
  • Logic: Conditional, Loops, Data Transform
  • Integration: HTTP, Database, API Calls
  • Human-in-Loop: Approval, Review Gates
Workflow Patterns
Common patterns and best practices for workflow design

Popular Workflow Patterns:

Architecture Overview

Hybrid Orchestration Architecture
Understanding the event-driven workflow execution model

Lyzr Orchestrator uses a hybrid architecture that combines:

Frontend Layer

React Flow canvas for visual workflow design with real-time updates via WebSockets

Orchestration Layer

Temporal workflows for durable execution with Redis event streaming

Execution Layer

Python workers executing AI agents, API calls, and business logic

Common Use Cases

📝 Document Processing

Automate document analysis, extraction, and classification with AI agents

🤖 Customer Support Automation

Route, analyze, and respond to customer queries with intelligent agents

📊 Data Pipeline Orchestration

Build ETL workflows with AI-powered data transformation and validation

✅ Approval Workflows

Create human-in-the-loop workflows for compliance and review processes
