Temporal to Host Durable AI Workshop

This is the right production lesson: agent reliability is an orchestration problem, not just a prompting problem. Temporal’s durable execution model turns model and tool calls into recoverable workflow steps, but teams still need explicit policies for retries, idempotency, and side effects.

• –The hands-on format makes failure recovery concrete instead of leaving durability as architecture-slide jargon.
• –Temporal Activities can retry transient tool or API failures while preserving completed workflow progress.
• –Signals provide a practical foundation for approvals and other human-in-the-loop pauses.
• –The OpenAI Agents SDK integration connects familiar agent abstractions to durable workflow execution.
• –Retries alone are not magic: external writes still require idempotency keys, deduplication, and careful handling of unknown outcomes.
