# Build event-driven document agent workflows with LlamaAgents

Use LlamaAgents to define async Python workflow steps, coordinate document-centric agent pipelines, and expose those workflows as services, clients, or deployable agent apps.

## Prerequisites

Python; llama-index-workflows; optional llama-agents-server, llama-agents-client, and llamactl for serving and deployment

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- uv tool install llamactl

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- An open-source framework for building and shipping document-centric agents in Python.
- LlamaAgents is built on [**Agent Workflows**](https://developers.llamaindex.ai/python/llamaagents/workflows/), an event-driven orchestration library where steps are async Python functions that emit and consume events....
- python
