How AI is used
Inngest is an event-driven workflow platform that combines event streams, queues, and durable execution. It is designed for software teams building distributed systems, serverless applications, or AI-driven products.
The platform supports multiple languages through SDKs for TypeScript/JavaScript, Python, Go, and Kotlin. It allows developers to write code that supports automatic retries, sleeps for extended periods, and fan-out operations, which may help in managing state without manual infrastructure overhead.
For those building AI applications, the AgentKit framework supports the creation of multi-agent systems using models from OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini. The platform also includes flow control features to manage API rate limits and concurrency.
Buyers should confirm their specific execution volume and concurrency needs, as these factors determine the appropriate pricing tier.
