OpenAI + @Temporalio : Building Durable, Production Ready Agents - Cornelia Davis, Temporal

The podcast centers on the integration of Temporal, an open-source distributed systems platform, with OpenAI's Agents SDK to enhance the durability and scalability of AI agents. Cornelia Davis explains how Temporal addresses challenges in AI applications by providing durability, managing retries, and ensuring state management, particularly in long-running agentic loops. She details how the integration allows developers to focus on the happy path, while Temporal handles complexities like rate limiting and application crashes. The discussion covers the use of activities and workflows within Temporal, showcasing how they provide a robust framework for orchestrating AI agents. Examples include using Temporal to manage weather alert systems and integrating it with Pydantic.
