    Use Cases & Benefits

    • Build and deploy durable AI agents and workflows using a TypeScript SDK with long-running tasks, retries, queues, and observability.
    • Provides true runtime freedom with no timeouts, automatic retries, human-in-the-loop pauses, and elastic scaling without managing infrastructure.
    • Use for creating AI-powered background jobs that require long execution times and fault tolerance beyond typical serverless limits.
    • Use for integrating human approval steps within automated workflows to enable human-in-the-loop decision making.
    • Use for developing real-time applications that stream AI responses and monitor task runs with full tracing and alerting.
