Your AI Agent Just Crashed at Step 9 of 12. Here's How to Make That Not Matter.

The article argues that AI agents should persist state as Temporal workflow history, so runs can replay and resume after worker crashes or restarts.

It maps agent concepts to Temporal primitives, separating deterministic workflow logic from side-effecting activities and child workflows.

An open-source library, durable-agents, packages this durable-execution pattern into a simpler developer experience.

The approach helps keep tool-using agent runs alive across failures, retries, and restarts, reducing lost work.
