Agents as Durable Entities

[Nilesh (nileshtrivedi)]

Azure Durable Functions has support for stateful entities.

Entities behave a bit like tiny services that communicate via messages. Each entity has a unique identity and an internal state (if it exists). Like services or objects, entities perform operations when prompted to do so. When an operation executes, it might update the internal state of the entity. It might also call external services and wait for a response. Entities communicate with other entities, orchestrations, and clients by using messages that are implicitly sent via reliable queues.

It seems to me that this would be a really great fit for long-running AI agent operations, which could also possibly involve human-in-the-loop interactions like approvals or clarifications.

Is there a recipe for running Autogen agents using these durable/stateful entities?

I think the idea makes a lot of sense. You can certainly write custom agents backed by durable entities. So each time a user request comes in, you can instantiate agents which hydrate the durable entities and use them for completion some tasks, then as the response is provided, these agent objects in your applications are garbage collected, while the durable entities are updated.
