Zero-shot AI workflow engine

A computer-implemented method for performing a workflow in an agent-centric paradigm, the method comprising:

• receiving a workflow identifier corresponding to an identified workflow within a workflow engine to initiate an operation of a large language model (LLM) agent;
• generating instructions, constraints, and success criteria for execution by the LLM agent for a next possible step of the identified workflow corresponding to the workflow identifier;
• executing, via the LLM agent, the instructions under the constraints for the next possible step through a universal authorization layer, the universal authorization layer performing normalization of access requests and enforcing identity policies;
• assessing, via the LLM agent and based on the success criteria generated for the next possible step, whether the success criteria have been met for the next possible step of the identified workflow;
• and
• querying the workflow engine for a further possible step for the identified workflow based upon the success criteria and an assessed result thereof, the workflow engine returning a further machine-readable response for the further possible step.

A vendor-agnostic identity integration system, comprising:

• a large language model (LLM) agent including a natural language processor and operable to execute instructions for a specified workflow;
• a connector construction engine operable to parse application programming interface (API) documentation to extract the instructions, constraints, and success criteria for a workflow in a corresponding API, and to construct a workflow-specific configuration file from API documentation, existing configuration files, or a combination thereof;
• a workflow engine, implemented on at least one processor, operable to receive a workflow identifier corresponding to the specified workflow and return a machine-readable response constructed from the workflow-specific configuration file, the machine-readable response including the instructions and the success criteria for execution by the LLM agent;
• a target system including one or more application programming interfaces (APIs) through which the LLM agent communicates with an identity provider or policy decision point via a universal authorization layer;
• and
• a logging engine operable to record operations of the LLM agent and workflow states of the specified workflow in a standardized audit format using an event taxonomy defining a set of standardized event types for workflow operations and states.
