Building Durable, Production-Ready Agents with the OpenAI Agents SDK and Temporal

​Agent frameworks, like the OpenAI Agents SDK, provide developers with a programming model that allows them to get to a demonstrable agent with relative ease. But a good AI agent programming model is not enough. These agents are ultimately wildly distributed systems and are plagued with all of the problems such systems bring:

• ​How can they persevere through flakey networks?

• ​How can they function when LLMs are rate limited?

• ​How can they run for long periods of time (hours, days, weeks, months) when infrastructure is rarely stable that long?

​Addressing these non-functional requirements is mandatory before an agent can go live in production and the frameworks don’t help here. That's why Temporal and OpenAI released the SDK. Using these two technologies together, you don’t have to choose between rapid development and production readiness - you get both. Come to this webinar to learn how you can do this today.

​Key points:

• ​A core understanding of the foundations of agentic systems, and how key durability primitives deliver resilience.

• ​How to build with agent frameworks that are integrated with Temporal, delivering that durability.

• ​You’ll use tools, MCP servers and even human-in-the-loop in those agents.

​This will be a demo-heavy session and you’ll walk away with all of the code that powers them.
