Stateful Agentic Workflows

Long-running agent logic demands more than a serverless function timeout. Otogent backs every workflow with a persistent runtime state machine — checkpointing execution at every node, detecting and breaking infinite loops, and resuming exactly where a crashed agent left off.

Persistent Runtime State Machines

Each agentic workflow in Otogent is backed by a durable state machine stored in a write-ahead log. When an agent node completes — or fails — the runtime commits its output to the log before advancing. This means a network partition, OOM kill, or upstream model error can never corrupt your workflow state. Resume from the last committed checkpoint with a single API call.

Execution Loop Prevention

Agentic reasoning loops are a production hazard. Otogent tracks visit counts per node per execution branch. If a node is visited beyond its configured threshold — indicating a circular dependency or a stuck reasoning chain — the runtime automatically breaks the loop, records the violation, and escalates to a configured fallback: halt, notify, or route to a human-in-the-loop gate.

Long-Running Agent Logic

Multi-step research pipelines, code generation tasks, and approval workflows can run for hours. Otogent's runtime is built for duration — not bounded by a function timeout. Agents sleep between steps, wake on external events or webhook signals, and maintain full context across the gap without losing their place in the workflow graph.
