A new paradigm is emerging for building applications that process large volumes of data, run for long periods of time, and interact with their environment. It’s called Durable Execution and is replacing traditional data pipelines with a more flexible approach. Durable Execution makes regular code reliable and scalable. In the past, reliability and scalability have come from restricted programming models, like SQL or MapReduce, but with Durable Execution this is no longer the case. We can now see data pipelines that include document processing workflows, deep research with LLMs, and other complex and LLM-driven agentic patterns expressed at scale with regular Python programs. In this session, we describe Durable Execution and explain how it fits in with agents and LLMs to enable a new class of machine learning applications.

Chaigent combines Chainlit and Vertex AI to deliver a code-first, serverless AI agent platform that avoids costly per-seat licensing fees. It empowers developers to build highly customizable, enterprise-grade agents using a scalable pay-as-you-go architecture.

mAIdAI is a lightweight personal AI assistant built with Google Chat, Cloud Run, and Vertex AI, designed to automate repetitive micro-tasks. By grounding the model with a local markdown context file, it provides highly personalized workflow assistance directly within your chat environment.
