Workflows vs Squads ?
# support
f
For a complex scenario where multiple assistants pass the discussion from one to another, considering that VAPI hasn't brought improvements as far as I've observed in "Squads", and the prioruty and new featureas are only in "Workflows" We're asking this question because the time invested in creating assistants that interact with each other is very high for us, and of course, the financial resources as well. We want to be sure which of the two has a better future and in which to invest more time. Which is better between Workflows and Squads, considering that now I've seen assistants can be inserted in Workflows also ?

I understand you're looking to compare Workflows and Squads in Vapi, especially for complex scenarios where multiple assistants interact, and you're interested in which approach is more future-proof and worth your investment. However, I don't have any information available about the specific features, improvements, or future direction of Workflows versus Squads, so I'm unable to provide a comparison or recommendation at this time.

Hello Flexi William, To begin, I recommend initiating with single assistant prompting. If multiple assistants are required, advise and position them to utilize workflows. In favor of workflows, squads are not recommended or advised for use. Therefore, I suggest implementing workflows. Please inform me if you require any further assistance with them.

The problem with workflows is that you can't connect multiple assistants and create multiple connections to a single assistant, unlike in "Squads" where you can create diverse conditions and have an assistant connected in various ways. In the attached images, the same assistants that can be connected in multiple ways in Squads can only have a single input and output connection per assistant in "Workflows". My question is, do you plan to discontinue "Squads" and keep only "Workflows" in the future? Because given the current limitations in Workflows, it seems that more complex interactions between assistants are still possible in Squads. I would greatly appreciate your opinion on this matter.

I believe we are building out workflows to be stronger in the near future. I would keep a close eye on updates regarding workflows
