Harnessing Agents: The Durable Runtime for Dynamic Workflows

Official Schedule Context

Agents increasingly generate and revise workflows at runtime instead of following control flow

written in advance. That breaks a common assumption of durable execution: that the workflow graph is

known when the system is deployed. How do you safely run and recover a program that did not exist

until an agent created it? This talk shows how Conductor provide a durable harness for dynamic

workflows. Connecting existing agent frameworks to Conductor without requiring developers to rewrite

their agent logic. Conductor executes the generated plan as an inspectable workflow with durability,

parallelism, retries, human approvals, MCP tool calls and policy enforcement. We will demonstrate

an agent creating a workflow, executing part of it, and replanning the remainder as conditions

change while preserving completed work and using idempotency and saga compensation to manage side

effects safely. The agent owns the plan. The harness owns the guarantees.
