September is here, and that means Replay ‘26 is on the horizon! The CFP is live and we want to hear your stories. In this issue, you’ll also find out how customers are using our product to build durable AI agents, fresh courses like our new one on Worker Versioning to help you learn Temporal, questions from the field (plus the answers from our experts), and more.

For more information on these updates and other things we’ve been working on, just keep reading! And as always, we’d love to hear from you. Feel free to share feedback in our Community Slack, or on X (@temporalio).

Questions from the field#

Recently shipped#

Pydantic AI + Temporal for Durable Agents is here! The popular Python agent framework now supports Temporal, letting you build durable, long-running, and human-in-the-loop agents. Task Queue Fairness is in pre-release. Get more control over the order that tasks are dispatched from the backlog. This is a great solution; especially for multi-tenant applications! Temporal’s Kubernetes Worker Controller is in public preview. Easily deploy Temporal workers on Kubernetes and take advantage of worker versioning. Namespace tags are now generally available! Attach tags to namespaces in Temporal Cloud to help operators organize, track, and manage namespaces more easily. ​​The Temporal Cloud control plane is now accessible via AWS PrivateLink. You can now use Terraform, tcld, the web UI, and the Cloud Ops API from networks that aren't allowed to access the public internet, all without compromising security or functionality.

Builder spotlight#

We’re sharing two stories this month about teams building AI agents on Temporal. In both cases, teams needed a platform that could ensure the durability and reliability of their agents.

Retool is building their Agents on Temporal
“Out the gate, with Temporal, we’re able to handle a robust agents platform.” Watch a discussion with Lizzie Alvarado Ford, Product Manager at Retool, and learn about why the team built their new Agents product on Temporal, and how they were able to launch in record time with a small team.

OpenPhone built a real-time voice agent with Temporal
Tris Lahey, Senior Principal Software Engineer at OpenPhone, wrote about building an ambitious voice agent that can understand and respond to callers in natural language. They needed a system that could maintain conversation state, handle long-running sessions, and provide enough observability into every step of the process. Temporal provides all of this out of the box, enabling the team to achieve their vision.

How to Temporal#

Join us live#

Our biggest event of the year returns May 5-7 in San Francisco: Replay ‘26. The first speakers are live, and the Call for Speakers is open. Share your production story with migrations that moved the needle, AI agents that deliver, and platform wins that unlocked your team’s velocity.

In the meantime, connect with our team at upcoming events to see live demos from the crew. We’d love to show you how we’re helping organizations build resilient, scalable applications.

October 7: SF Tech Week, San Francisco, CA: Join us for a special panel discussion featuring our Sr. Director, Infrastructure & Security, Ryan Cox: “From Prototype to Powerhouse: Scaling Startups in the AI Era” as part of San Francisco Tech Week. October 7: Ruby SDK Webinar: We’ve got a new gem in the toolkit: the Ruby SDK. Save your spot in our next webinar for an introduction to using Temporal with Ruby. October 15-16: LeadDev, New York City, NY: Meet us at our booth to learn how Temporal helps engineering leaders scale teams, streamline complex systems, and drive reliability across critical applications. October 21-22: Open Source in Finance Forum, New York City, NY: Stop by our booth to see how Temporal empowers financial institutions to build durable, compliant workflows, simplify modernization, and reduce operational risk with open source innovation.
