/ About this event

Your agentic workflow runs for days on Temporal. It retries, waits, resumes across failures, reliably. But when it's about to do something irreversible, who approves it, and on what surface?

Durable execution engines make agents survive; they don't give a human anything to see or sign off on. This talk is about building that face: human-in-the-loop for long-running agents on Temporal.

Approval gates as signals the workflow waits on, a live view of the running graph, and a decision trail — engine below, humans on top. Architecture, the signal/timer plumbing, and a live demo, including what broke.

This event is a part of #SFTechWeek—a week of events hosted by VCs and startups to bring together the tech ecosystem. Learn more at www.tech-week.com.
