Trigger.dev is an open-source framework for writing long-running background tasks, AI agents, and workflows as plain TypeScript — with no timeouts, automatic retries, durable cron schedules, queues, and built-in observability. It runs on a fully managed cloud or self-hosted via Docker or Kubernetes under Apache 2.0. Features include human-in-the-loop steps, streaming LLM responses, and Python and browser-automation tasks.

    Durable workflow engine for AI background jobs.

    Event-driven, durable execution engine — pause/resume, retries, fan-out, scheduling — designed for long-running AI jobs that can't sit in a request/response cycle. TypeScript-first; framework-agnostic.

    Visual-canvas automation. The Integromat folks went big on AI nodes.

    Drag-and-drop scenario builder with first-class AI provider nodes. More expressive than Zapier for complex routing and conditional logic; favoured when your automation has branches and loops.
