Title

Workflow Orchestration for AI Agent Reliability

Content

Temporal is a durable execution workflow orchestration platform that ensures AI agents and distributed systems operate reliably even when failures occur. The platform automatically captures state at every step of a workflow, enabling code to recover, replay, or pause at any checkpoint without lost progress or orphaned processes. For AI agent reliability, Temporal provides fault-tolerant orchestration that handles API failures, network timeouts, and service crashes transparently. Developers write business logic as Temporal Workflows that can involve complex multi-step processes such as training ML models, running inference pipelines, or coordinating multiple AI agents across different services. Activities within workflows retry automatically with configurable backoff strategies. Temporal replaces brittle state machines with durable execution semantics backed by a battle-tested service that has processed billions of workflow executions. The platform is particularly valuable for AI applications requiring long-running tasks, human-in-the-loop approvals, and complex multi-agent coordination where partial failures could otherwise corrupt state or lose expensive computation.
