been following you guys from distance over x. congrats on the launch! excited to see where this goes

looks cool. how's that different from things like markbase dispatch where you can fire up the agent remotely with some given context. i mean what is the advantage of having the agent run always vs start and stop when you need it but give it a long-term memory context? maybe i'm missing something.

haha yes! this was the reasoning for making durability native in our harness

thanks swyx! the log is the agent is a core insight behind this

you beat pi-durable to it!

feels like everyone is converging on durable agents lately: pi durable, cloudflare agents on durable objects, vercel's durable harness

by kmansm27 4 hours ago

Yep, I think that all harnesses will require native durability, and pi-durable is a step in the right direction. I'm skeptical of bolted-on durability, like vercel's durable-harness, because they have to neuter the harness for things they can't reliably make durable (e.g. https://github.com/vercel-labs/durable-harness/blob/fb056a3c...)

Wow Literally what I was looking for.

i was looking for good self-hostable durable agents to automate a persistent keyword watcher across sm. gonna give this a go. any pointers you recommend?

by isehgal 3 hours ago

nice, this is close to something we run ourselves. we put up examples of sm agents that scan socials daily for keywords and DMs us (docs here https://docs.omnara.com/examples/x-signal-agent). probably the fastest starting point is to point your agent to it and ask it to swap in your keywords

looks great
