Durable Agents: Long-running AI workflows in a flaky world
As AI grows more powerful, the scale of tasks and the cost when things go wrong both rise. Most AI agents remain stuck in the “chat paradigm”: synchronous, short-lived, and limited. This session explores how durable execution breaks those limits, with Pydantic AI’s Temporal integration showing what long-running, resilient agents can achieve.
