AI engineering layers
Graph engineering
Definition
Designing how agents or workflow steps connect, share information, and hand off tasks to form a coordinated system.
Visual example
Station links = graph engineering
The kitchen connection
Think of planning how kitchen stations pass an order between them.
The illustration connects the AI idea to something familiar. Follow the subject, the action, and the result to see how it works.
- 01 · Who or what
- Station links = graph engineering
- 02 · What happens
- Passes orders between kitchen stations
- 03 · The result
- Coordinates one complete dinner service
Why it matters
It makes responsibilities and handoffs clear when several agents or steps contribute to one result.
