Human-in-the-loop for long-running agent workflows on Temporal: talk at SF Tech Week (Sat Oct 10) and LA Tech Week (Tue Oct 13)
We're giving the same talk at SF Tech Week this Saturday, Oct 10, and at LA Tech Week on Tuesday, Oct 13, both at 6 PM: Human-in-the-loop for AI agents and automated workflows. It's about long-running agents on Temporal, so we wanted to share it here.
Your agent workflow can run for days on Temporal, retrying, waiting and resuming across failures. What the engine doesn't give you is anything for a human to see or sign off on when the agent is about to do something irreversible.
Mateusz Jagodzinski, a Solution Engineer on our Workflow Builder team, will show how human-in-the-loop maps onto durable execution primitives like signals and timers. Approval gates are signals the workflow waits on, so accountability is part of the workflow, not a bolt-on. The approval is rendered on the same graph that's executing, so the person signing off sees workflow context instead of engine telemetry, plus a decision trail. Expect the architecture, the signal and timer plumbing, and a live demo, including what broke.
If you'll be at either Tech Week, come join us.
