1. Is this request related to a challenge you're experiencing?

The current agent framework used is fairly difficult to customise. There are many situations where a business application needs to follow fairly rigid process steps. For example, a KYC process at a bank needs to collect information from 3 to 4 specific sources before aggregating them together and evaluating the content with an LLM. This sort of sequence of steps is very difficult to program with Dify

2. Describe the feature you'd like to see

There are a few projects out there which allow a more structured definition of what steps the agent should take. One example is
https://github.com/BCG-X-Official/agentkit
This would allow a more controllable behaviour of the agent which generally leads to higher quality outputs. Maybe this framework is also a not ideal example. My point is there should be a form of DAG style set of actions that could be defined and chained so that the agent performs a set of predefined steps. E.g.:

  1. retrieve user data from a specific DB
  2. start researching about the person online to find information
  • search in factiva
  • search in google
  • search in proprietary API X
  1. translate all answers to english for each non english result
  2. consolidate all content
  3. write a report
  4. store report by calling a specific API

3. How will this feature improve your workflow or experience?

It would allow for better instructability of the agent.

4. Additional context or comments
