Launch and Learn: Building Durable AI Agents (and MCP!) with Temporal

A full-day, hands-on workshop designed for developers, architects, and technical leaders who want to move beyond prototyping and learn how to build durable, production-ready GenAI applications. Through instructor-led training, live demos, and Python exercises, participants will explore the essential components of modern GenAI systems and gain practical experience applying Temporal to deliver fault tolerance, resilience, and reliability at scale. The workshop covers building durable AI Agents, designing Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers, and integrating Temporal with agent frameworks like OpenAI Agents SDK and PydanticAI. It offers beginner-friendly foundations while also introducing advanced durability patterns for experienced practitioners.

By the end of the workshop, participants will be able to:

• Understand the essential components of modern GenAI applications.
• Apply Temporal to build fault-tolerant, production-ready systems.
• Design and operate durable Model Context Protocol (MCP) servers.
• Use agent frameworks that have been integrated with Temporal, such as OpenAI Agents SDK and PydanticAI, to achieve real-world reliability.
