Hephaestus: How a Semi-Structured AI Framework Enables Self-Evolving Workflows

Hephaestus: The Semi-Structured Agentic Framework Where Workflows Forge Themselves The Core Problem This Article Addresses Traditional AI workflows require predefining every possible branch and scenario, causing them to fail when encountering unexpected situations. Hephaestus solves this through a semi-structured framework that allows workflows to autonomously evolve based on AI agents’ real-time discoveries. In complex software development projects, I consistently faced a fundamental dilemma: AI agents could handle predefined tasks, but whenever they encountered unanticipated situations, they would stall. Traditional workflow frameworks demand预先定义 every possible branch and instruction, which becomes nearly impossible in dynamic development environments. This realization led me to …
