Yes, that's correct—Workflows are not recommended for new builds.
For your use case (scripted agent that captures info and sets meetings), use an Assistant instead.
To get started, go to your Vapi dashboard and click Create Assistant, then follow the prompts to define your script and information capture steps.
This approach is simpler and better supported for most scenarios ([documentation](https://docs.vapi.ai/assistants/quickstart)).

The prompt for the assistant ends up being massive. How can I break it down into more manageable chunks?
