An apprenticeship starts with demonstrated work. Someone shows the task, the apprentice tries it, and a person checks the result. Corrections become part of the next attempt. The work remains visible to the people responsible for it.
Repetitive tasks are useful candidates when a person can demonstrate the work and check whether the result is acceptable.
Recorded macros can be sensitive to interface changes. Broader automation can also make consequential changes unless its permissions and review process are defined. Apprentice’s design connects a demonstration to an inspectable workflow and explicit human review.
XSI Apprentice™ is designed to turn a demonstrated repetitive task into an inspectable workflow on the Microsoft Agent Framework. A person other than the demonstrator approves the workflow before it goes live. A person reviews the work product from every run before it is accepted.
Why the Word Is "Apprentice"
The apprenticeship model keeps demonstrated work under review. The worker can inspect the proposed workflow, correct it and decide whether its results are acceptable.
The First Agentic Application for XSI-AIMS
Apprentice is an agentic application designed for XSI-AIMS and the Microsoft Agent Framework. Its workflow and results are visible in XSI Helm. Demonstration, approval by a second person and review of each work product define the intended operating process.
Apprentice is in preview, and its demonstration-capture and workflow-synthesis path is still maturing. Its intended scope is repetitive work that can be demonstrated and checked. New or ambiguous work may require further human input.
The workflow remains visible in Helm, with its approvals and results available to the people responsible for the job.
Approve the workflow. Review every result.
