Learn Temporal / Tutorials
Project-based tutorials.
Concept courses teach you the primitives. Tutorials teach you how the primitives compose into something real - an e-commerce checkout, an AI agent, a trip-booking saga.
Build AI agents
Build long-running agents that maintain state, handle tool calls, and survive the messy middle of an LLM conversation.
Building Durable AI Applications
Build a durable AI application backed by Temporal's reliable execution model.

What do you want to build?
Order processing
Charge cards, manage inventory, handle refunds. Sagas that compensate when something goes wrong mid-checkout.
Build it in
Subscription billing
Recurring charges, retries, dunning, and graceful cancellation - durable across restarts and deploys.
Build it in
Email drip campaigns
Multi-message sequences scheduled over hours, days, or weeks. Each step survives Worker restarts.
Trip booking sagas
Compose flights, hotels, and cars into one Workflow that rolls back cleanly when any step fails.
Data pipelines & APIs
Move data through extract / transform / load steps. Wrap third-party APIs in durable Workflows with caching and retries.
Python tutorials
Generative media
Generate audiobooks, branching narratives, and other long-running media workflows that combine LLMs with reliable execution.
Choose-your-own-adventure bot
Maintain conversation state across turns in a bot powered by LLMs - Signals route player choices, Timers pace the story.

Slack work queue app
Build a Slack app that turns slash commands into durable Workflows, then deploy the whole thing to DigitalOcean with Temporal Cloud.
Build it in
Cross-service Workflows with Nexus
Use Nexus to call Workflows that live in different Temporal namespaces or services - clean boundaries between teams.
