Orkes Conductor
What it is
Orkes Conductor combines AI agents with deterministic workflows to build and scale business processes. Its durable execution preserves workflow and agent state through failures, restarts, outages, and long-running interactions. Workflows can pause for approvals, reviews, or escalations, then resume after a decision. Scheduling, webhooks, and API triggers support event-driven automation. The platform offers real-time execution monitoring, analytics, role-based access controls, audit logs, and input/output guardrails. Developers can use the Conductor SDK or bring LangGraph, OpenAI Agents SDK, Google ADK, CrewAI, or custom agents. Orkes Cloud can be hosted by Orkes or deployed in a customer cloud footprint, including Azure, AWS, GCP, or private cloud. Deployment options include API, web, and self-hosted use. The free Developer Edition includes an individual sandbox and community support, but has no SLA and is not recommended for production. Enterprise pricing is custom; listed options include custom deployment and support, with availability SLAs up to 99.99%.
