Introducing Workflow Agents

Upstash Workflow introduces the Agents API to address challenges in building workflows involving agents, particularly in serverless environments where timeouts, transient errors, and lack of durability are common issues. The API enhances workflow robustness by leveraging QStash, allowing for the reliable execution of agent tasks without concerns about these common pitfalls. It supports the integration of AI tools compatible with SDKs like LangChain and provides features such as orchestrating collaborations among agents, running tasks independently, and handling errors gracefully through retries and customizable failure functions. The workflow process involves defining a single endpoint with steps executed sequentially, ensuring scalability and reliability. Future plans for the API include support for additional LLM providers and human-in-the-loop capabilities, emphasizing Upstash's commitment to making agent workflows durable, scalable, and extensible.
