Building durable Agents with Workflow DevKit & AI SDK - Peter Wielander, Vercel
Jan 6, 2026 · 1:09:49
Peter Wielander from Vercel introduces the Workflow DevKit, an open-source library that adds durability, observability, and resumability to AI agents by wrapping them in a workflow pattern. He demonstrates converting a coding agent into a workflow-supported agent, showing how steps like LLM calls and tool executions become isolated, retryable units. The toolkit enables long-running agents that can sleep for days, resume streams after disconnection, and integrate human-in-the-loop via webhooks. Deployable on Vercel or any cloud, it provides built-in observability through a local UI. The Workflow DevKit is currently in beta with general availability targeted for January.
