ControlFlow is a Python framework for building agentic AI workflows, letting developers define discrete observable tasks, assign specialized LLM-powered agents, and orchestrate them in flows with type-safe structured outputs. It integrates with Prefect 3.0 for observability, but the project has been archived and its next-generation engine merged into the Marvin framework.

Use cases

  • build multi-step LLM agent workflows in python
  • orchestrate multiple specialized ai agents on tasks
  • get type-safe structured outputs from llm calls
  • add observability to ai agent pipelines with prefect
  • delegate work to llms with controlled autonomy
  • prototype agentic ai applications quickly

When to choose

  • you want a task-centric python framework for llm agents with structured results
  • you already use prefect and want native observability for ai workflows
  • you need fine-grained control over agent autonomy

When to avoid

  • you need an actively maintained project - the repo is archived and development moved to Marvin
  • you want a non-python or low-code agent builder
  • you need provider support beyond what its llm configuration offers
