 "title": "Make a research agent survive crashes with Temporal",
 "page_title": "How to make a research agent survive crashes with Temporal with Pydantic AI",
 "summary": "Attach TemporalDurability so the same Pydantic AI agent runs inside a durable Temporal workflow.",
 "who": "A team running long research or reporting agents that cannot afford to restart from scratch.",
 "problem": "A long agent run that crashes halfway loses its progress and its token spend.",
 "outcome": "An agent running under durable execution in Temporal, or saving and resuming steps with StepPersistence.",
 "steps": [
  "Install with `uv add \"pydantic-ai[temporal]\"`",
  "Create an Agent with instructions, capabilities such as WebSearch and WebFetch, and TemporalDurability()",
  "Wrap it in a workflow class based on PydanticAIWorkflow with a run method, as in the README",
  "DBOS and Prefect attach the same way if you use those instead of Temporal",
  "Without an engine, use StepPersistence from Pydantic AI Harness to save, resume and fork runs"
 ],
 "agent_prompt": "Using pydantic/pydantic-ai with TemporalDurability, turn my <agent> into a Temporal workflow that writes a brief on a topic. Show me that killing the worker mid-run and restarting it resumes the workflow.",

 "time": "1 hour",
