In this hands-on workshop with Keycard and Temporal, you’ll learn to give AI agents their own identity, control how they act on a user’s behalf, and recover interrupted workflows. Working with an expense agent, you’ll practice enforcing permissions beyond the prompt and acquiring task-scoped, runtime credentials during execution without storing them in workflow history.

AI Agents are distributed systems. Agents need to connect and communicate with tools, data repositories, other agents, etc., all over a network. Event-Driven Architecture is a common pattern for facilitating this connectivity, using Events as the communication abstraction.

Think of that feeling you get when you follow an online tutorial or documentation and the code works on the first run. Now think of all the hours spent wasted following broken, outdated, or incomplete documentation.

It is common for developers to overlook the documentation of their works. They are either on a time crunch, lack the proper tooling, or simply just forget to create and update the documentation.
