Every step you take, every call you make: the reliable agent stack — Giselle van Dongen, Restate
Restate is an infrastructure that makes AI agents reliable through durable execution—a technique that lets agents pause without consuming money, for example while waiting for human approval.
As an agent runs it emits events to a log that can replay the process back to the exact point it failed, instead of restarting from the beginning. Giselle van Dongen, who builds Restate, demonstrated an agent in Slack that plans research tasks, runs parallel sub-processes, and can be taken over mid-flight—you can tell it to focus on new things or cancel entirely, and the system rewinds and shuts down sub-processes in the right order.
