Temporal for Artificial Intelligence
The orchestrator for AI applications
Temporal is a durable workflow engine that ensures AI applications run reliably, every time. Build faster, prevent failures, and stand out from the crowd.
AI applications are inherently unreliable
LLMs return probabilistic responses. Agents and generative AI applications rely on dozens of failure-prone services. These complexities are difficult to code around, and you risk a poor customer experience and costly errors.
Temporal frees you from failures
Temporal orchestrates AI workflows and guarantees execution completes, in spite of failures. Code for the happy path only, develop applications faster, and deliver products your customers can count on.
The perfect tool for building & scaling AI
Write durable workflows in Python
Workflows-as-code
Write your AI applications using Temporal’s Python SDK, which takes care of any failure scenario out-of-the-box.
Orchestration
Set up workflows to orchestrate interactions across any number of distributed data stores and tools.
Durable Execution
Guarantee all executions of all processes run to completion successfully in spite of failures.
Code for the happy path only
State handling
Workflows automatically hold state over long periods of time (even years), so you don’t need state machines.
Human-in-the-loop
Easily facilitate human-in-the-loop interactions like validating LLM results or approving agent decisions.
Self-healing
Get automatic retries out-of-the-box, and maintain the ability to retry until a probabilistic LLM returns valid data.
Know what's happening and why
High scale
Code parallel tasks and concurrent workflows at incredible scale.
Easily testable
Step-debug your AI application’s execution, and test thousands of outcomes using your preferred tools.
Strong observability
Inspect and troubleshoot an AI application’s performance, inputs, and outputs from a detailed UI.
Become a leader in AI
Build a trustworthy reputation
Improve application reliability by 10 - 100x by maintaining expected performance and execution even if an LLM returns bad data, APIs time out, or infrastructure fails.
Move faster than the competition
Deliver new features 2 - 10x faster by writing more business logic instead of dealing with failure code. Keep your customers happy and stay ahead in the market.
Optimize and reduce costs
Minimize the number of calls to LLM APIs by recovering from failures mid-flow, significantly reducing costs.
It was a game changing revelation - Temporal gave us the ability to test our Workflows with unit tests, basically just writing code instead of writing JSON or YAML, which are completely untestable.

Software Engineer, Descript
While LLMs are extremely powerful and extremely versatile, at the same time they’re quite unreliable…Temporal is an engine that was designed to mitigate things like that: to write deterministic and durable Workflows and implement them in an easy fashion.

Temporal use cases in AI
Improve the reliability and development speed of critical AI applications.
Agentic AI
Orchestrate reliable agentic AI workflows. Protect against probabilistic LLM responses. Easily code parallel tasks at scale.
Generative AI
Automate highly scaled processes like image and text generation, knowledge summarization, and decision making.
AI integration
Integrate AI to your existing applications systems without a huge overhead, like chat bots, customer service, and fraud detection.
Model training
Orchestrate large scale model training. Use historical data from the Temporal Event History to improve agents with reinforcement learning.
Success story: ZoomInfo
ZoomInfo built a major component of their recently-launched AI sales solution, Copilot, on Temporal. Temporal orchestrates GenAI applications to help sales teams research customers.
We really needed to optimize our workflows around isolating the stability and performance implications with LLMs.
