Core Concepts

Understanding the fundamental concepts behind Mesh.

Overview

Mesh is built around several core concepts that work together to create powerful multi-agent workflows:

  1. Graphs - The structure of your workflow
  2. Nodes - The building blocks of computation
  3. Execution - How workflows run
  4. Events - Real-time streaming feedback

Quick Summary

Graphs

Directed graphs with controlled cycles that define workflow structure and execution flow.

Nodes

Seven types of nodes that perform specific tasks: Start, End, Agent, LLM, Tool, Condition, and Loop.

Execution

Queue-based execution model with dependency tracking and state management.

Events

Provider-agnostic streaming events for real-time feedback during execution.

Next Steps

Dive into each concept:

  • Graphs - Learn about graph structure
  • Nodes - Understand all 7 node types
  • Execution - See how workflows execute
  • Events - Handle streaming events
