VDF AI Networks

Use VDF AI Networks for guided multi-step workflows that coordinate several AI specialists in one run.

What VDF AI Networks is for

VDF AI Networks helps with bigger tasks that are easier to solve in stages than in one single prompt. Instead of relying on one assistant response, a network can break work into smaller parts and coordinate several specialists in sequence.

Use it when you want to:

  • run a larger analysis that has multiple steps
  • combine research, drafting, and validation in one workflow
  • standardize a repeatable process for your team
  • work from a template instead of starting from scratch each time

Good fits for network-based work

  • preparing a multi-part report
  • reviewing a backlog and turning it into a recommended plan
  • generating a structured summary from several connected sources
  • coordinating multiple specialist perspectives before producing a final answer

Typical workflow

  1. Start from a template or describe the goal you want the network to achieve.
  2. Review the proposed workflow before running it.
  3. Confirm the source material or connected apps the network should use.
  4. Run the workflow and watch the result build in stages.
  5. Review the final output and rerun with narrower instructions if needed.

What users usually see

Depending on the workspace experience, you may see:

  • saved network templates
  • a visual or step-based execution flow
  • intermediate outputs from different stages
  • a final summary or compiled result
  • a way to rerun the workflow with updated instructions

Tips for better network results

  • Start with a well-scoped goal instead of a very broad request.
  • Use connected apps or source files so each step has enough context.
  • Review the first run, then narrow the prompt instead of trying to solve everything in one pass.
  • Save successful networks or templates so the team can repeat them consistently.
  • Use VDF AI Chat when you want fast, conversational work.
  • Use VDF AI Agents when a single specialized assistant is enough.
  • Use VDF AI Data when the task depends on uploaded or stored content.

Common issues

The workflow feels too large

Break the goal into a smaller unit of work, run it once, then expand only after you see a good result.

The result misses key context

Attach the missing files or connect the source systems the network should use.

I do not know whether to use Chat, Agents, or Networks

Use Networks when the task clearly has stages or needs several specialist perspectives before the final answer.
