# Create conversational agentic workflows with chat interactions in Azure Logic Apps
When you need AI-powered automation that interacts with humans, create *conversational agent* workflows in Azure Logic Apps. These workflows use natural language, agent *loops*, and *large language models* (LLMs) to make decisions and complete tasks based on human-provided inputs and questions, known as *prompts*. These workflows work best for automation that's user-driven, short-lived, or session-based.
