Agentex Tutorial: How to Build and Scale Long-Running Enterprise Agents

AI agents can be designed to autonomously manage complex, long-running business processes, operating for weeks or months at a time. This approach flips the typical AI interaction, as the agent works independently by reacting to real-world events and only escalates to a human when it needs guidance. To achieve this, Scale AI's open-source Agentex framework provides the agentic logic, while Temporal's platform supplies the durable execution engine. This combination ensures the agent's workflow can run reliably for extended periods, surviving system crashes and restarts without losing its state or context.
