Flow-Variable setzen

The Set Flow Variable component is designed to assign or update a variable within your AI workflow. This is useful for managing and passing state or data between different steps of a workflow, enabling dynamic and flexible process design.

What Does This Component Do?

This component takes a variable name and a value, and sets the value for that variable within the flow context. This allows you to store information during workflow execution, making it accessible to other components or steps that follow. It is especially useful when you need to track intermediate values, configuration options, or user inputs as your process runs.

Inputs

The component accepts the following inputs:

Outputs

After execution, the component produces the following outputs:

• Variable Value (output_variable_value)
  • Type: Message
  • Contains the value that was set for the variable.
• Variable Name (output_variable_name)
  • Type: Message
  • Contains the name of the variable that was set.
• Tool (tool)
  • Type: Tool
  • The tool object itself, which can be used by agents for further processing or chaining.

Typical Use Cases

• Dynamic Data Passing: Store results or interim data from one step to use in later steps.
• State Management: Keep track of workflow state, flags, or user decisions.
• Agent Tooling: Provide variables as tools for AI agents that need to access or modify workflow state.
• Debugging: Use the verbose mode to gain additional insight into variable assignments during development.

Why Is This Useful?

Setting and managing variables is essential for building workflows that can adapt to different inputs, remember previous actions, and branch logic based on dynamically generated data. The Set Flow Variable component enables this flexibility by allowing you to programmatically control flow context at runtime, supporting more intelligent and responsive AI processes.
