Rate-limiting? Brittle tools? Rapid iteration? We’ve got it handled. OpenAI Agents SDK + Temporal means your agents now remember state, bounce back from crashes, and survive real-world chaos without you writing error-handling and orchestration code.
Hi, Product Hunt Community, I’m the Co-Founder and CTO of Temporal and I’m excited to launch this integration with OpenAI’s Agents SDK in Public Preview.
What is it?
This new integration between the OpenAI Agents SDK and Temporal’s Python SDK lets you build production-ready AI agents, fast. What does that mean? It’s easy to prototype agents, but they fall apart in production. Rate-limiting, crashes, flaky APIs and unreliable tools. These issues sound new, but they aren’t. They’re a different flavor of distributed system challenges. Temporal has been solving these challenges for years to make distributed systems more accessible and reliable.
With this integration, you can use abstractions and best practices from OpenAI with Temporal’s orchestration, Durable Execution, and scale to build agents for the real world. Add several lines of Temporal code to agents you already built with OpenAI’s framework or start building with both from the beginning.
It’s available in Public Preview in Temporal’s Python SDK, open-source under the MIT license.
What’s included?
Lightweight, easy-to-use Agents SDK with very few abstractions: the OpenAI Agents SDK is straightforward to use and provides industry best practices.
Durable Execution for agents: Temporal’s crash-proof execution provides automatic state persistence, retries, seamless recovery across failures, long-running task handling, and human-in-the-loop. This approach also preserves tokens since you don't need to rerun LLMs to get back content you lost.
100% code: The Agents SDK & Temporal both provide a plain-code developer experience that is flexible, intuitive, and gives you the freedom to develop how you want.
Built-in observability and debugging tools: includes local replay, support for unit testing, and traceability of every step in an application.
Massive horizontal scale: run thousands (or millions) of agents in parallel, with the same technology that supports applications at Nvidia, Lovable, and Netflix, as well as every Snap story and every Taco Bell order.
We’re excited to see what you build. You can read more about the integration here. Try it out, and let us know what you think!
Been exploring Temporal recently and it really changes how you think about workflows. Instead of spending hours writing retry logic, timeouts, and all that boilerplate, you just focus on what your app actually needs to do. It’s kind of wild knowing the same tech is behind Snap stories and Taco Bell orders — feels super robust but still developer-friendly. If you're building anything with complex flows or background jobs, this is seriously worth a look. ⚙️💡
Hey! I'm in the video above. Ask me questions about the implementation and I'm happy to answer.
Honestly, letting devs skip all the boring plumbing code and just focus on biz logic is genius—makes life sooo much easier fr. The team nailed it!
Wow, building workflows that never fail sounds like a dream—no more late-night debugging sessions for edge cases! Does Temporal handle retries automatically if something goes down mid-process?
Congrats on the launch! Really impressed by how this integration solves the challenge of creating production-ready AI agents, ensuring reliability for long term use. The industry needs this to address the common struggles with unstable APIs and system crashes.
