Use the Workflow Agent (video tutorial)
Last updated: May-10-2026
Overview
Cloudinary's Workflow Agent lets you build complex MediaFlows automations from natural language descriptions. Simply describe your workflow requirements, and the agent will understand your request, align it with your taxonomy and folder structure, and generate a draft flow that you can review, configure, and enable.
In this tutorial, you'll learn how to use the Workflow Agent to create an automated moderation workflow that checks uploaded assets against rules, applies automatic corrections, and routes images based on moderation results.

Introduction
| Cloudinary's Workflow Agent lets you build complex MediaFlows automations from natural language descriptions. Simply describe what you want your workflow to do, and the agent will create it for you. |
Describing a workflow
| In this example, a workflow is automatically triggered when an asset fails moderation. The workflow checks which rule failed and applies appropriate actions. For a clean white background rule failure, automatic background removal and normalization are applied. Another rule checks if the image was AI-generated or copied from the internet. |
Understanding and planning
| The agent understands your request, aligns it with your current taxonomy and folder structure, and lays out a detailed plan before building anything. |
Building the draft flow
| When you give it the go-ahead, the agent automatically builds the draft flow based on your requirements. |
Reviewing the flow
| Review the generated flow to see the logical layout. In this example, you can see two checks: first for a clean white background, and next for either AI-generated or non-original images, which then routes them appropriately. |
Configuring blocks
| Go into any block to further configure its settings and fine-tune the workflow behavior. |
Testing and enabling
| Run a test to troubleshoot and verify the workflow works as expected, then enable the automation to start processing assets automatically. |
