Chains
Orchestrate multi-step work across your Agents with structured workflows.
Available on Premium tier and above.
What Are Chains?
Chains are multi-step orchestrated workflows within Tempreon. Each Chain defines a sequence (or parallel set) of steps, optionally assigned to different Agents, that work together to accomplish a complex task.
Think of a Chain as a project plan that your AI follows — with dependencies, handoffs, and progress tracking built in.
How Chains Work
A Chain consists of:
- Task Specification — What needs to be accomplished (goals, constraints, output format)
- Topology — How steps relate to each other:
- Sequential — Steps run one after another
- Parallel — Steps run simultaneously
- Orchestrated — A coordinating Agent manages the flow
- Hybrid — Mix of sequential and parallel
- Steps — Individual work items, each with a description, status, and optional Agent assignment
Chain Lifecycle
| Status | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Planning | Chain is being set up, steps defined |
| In Progress | Work is happening |
| Blocked | A step has failed or is waiting on something |
| Completed | All steps finished successfully |
| Cancelled | Chain was stopped before completion |
Managing Chains
From the Chains page in your dashboard:
- Browse active Chains filtered by status
- Expand any Chain to see its steps, dependencies, and progress
- Complete a Chain when all work is done (with an optional summary)
- Cancel a Chain if it's no longer needed
Try Saying...
- "Create a chain to research and write a blog post about AI in healthcare" — Sets up a multi-step workflow
- "What chains are currently in progress?" — Check active work
- "Mark the research chain as completed — we got what we needed" — Close out a Chain
- "Create a chain with three steps: research competitors, analyze findings, draft recommendations" — Define specific steps
Use Case: Structured Research-to-Deliverable Flow
Diana is preparing a competitive analysis. She creates a Chain with four steps: (1) Research competitor pricing and features, (2) Analyze strengths and weaknesses, (3) Draft positioning recommendations, (4) Create executive summary. Each step builds on the previous one, and the Chain tracks progress. If she pauses mid-way and picks up the next day, the Chain remembers exactly where things stand. The final deliverable reflects work that was structured from the start, not assembled ad hoc.
