Task Decomposition

Task Decomposition

Term explanation

Definition and meaning

Task decomposition is the process by which an AI agent breaks down a complex, high-level goal into a sequence of smaller, manageable subtasks. The agent identifies dependencies between steps, determines what tools or data each step requires, and decides which subtasks can run in parallel. Task decomposition is a fundamental capability of Agentic AI systems and is central to how an agent loop executes multi-step workflows reliably.

When LIZ AI receives a presentation request, it automatically decomposes the task: identifying which data to retrieve, which slides to create or update, which brand rules to apply, and in what order — then executes each step autonomously.
