Pi Durable PROACTIVE Agents: Jev Triggers My ON-CALL Pi Agent
Engineers... your agents are LAZY. 😲 They sit in a terminal and wait for YOU to prompt them. The future belongs to PROACTIVE agents: durable agents that don't wait for you to work. They work for you, then wait. Mario and Armin just dropped Pi Durable, and it changes how you build long-running agents. 🔥 PHASE 3 Early-Signup https://agenticengineer.com/ia3-pre-launch?y=DNDYYHsypZg 🎥 VIDEO REFERENCES • Pi Durable PROACTIVE Agent Codebase: https://github.com/disler/durable-pi • Ten Levels Of JEV For Agentic Engineers: https://youtu.be/_U-O5lYhJ7Q • Pi Durable Release: https://earendil.com/posts/pi-durable/ 🚀 In this video, we break down Pi Durable, the new release from the creators of the Pi coding agent. A durable Pi agent persists your ongoing work, conversations, and application state through failures, through clients, and through change itself. I have durable agents running right now on my M4 Mac Mini, my M6 Mac Mini, my M5 MacBook Pro, and exe.dev cloud sandboxes, all connected in one durable agent network. 🔥 Watch as a JEV classifier detects a production incident in a live log stream and triggers an ON CALL Pi agent. The agent detects, investigates, finds the root cause, writes the fix, and waits for my review. Human near the loop: I approve, it deploys, production stabilizes. JEV classified hundreds of events for pennies. This is what agentic engineering looks like when your agents are proactive. 🛠️ Key takeaways: Proactive Agents: The most valuable agent is the one that doesn't need you to ship. Trigger agents from real events and let them start the work before you show up. Multi-Client Agents: Detach your agent from your UI. Connect from a browser, a TUI, curl, your phone, or your product. Same agent, many clients. Shared Durable State: One shared application state object that every agent session on a device can read and update. Durable Tasks: Repeatable jobs with phases you can resume, with sub-agents that ask for approval. Human near the loop, not stuck in the loop. Live Harness Engineering: Swap tools mid-session, toggle extensions like JEV damage control on the fly, fork agents, and run background compaction. 💡 Anthropic and OpenAI are already building on durable agent primitives for products like OpenAI Dots and Claude in Slack. Claude Code and Codex showed us the first version. Pi Durable lets YOU own this layer. We already rent our intelligence. Don't rent your agents, your agent harness, and your durable agents too. 🌟 The next leap is phase three agentic engineering: moving from in loop to human near the loop to human out the loop. Track one KPI: how many agents are doing useful work for you right now, without you? Stay focused and keep building. 📖 Chapters 00:00 Pi Durable: Durable Agents for Agentic Engineering 01:47 What Is a Durable Pi Agent? 02:10 Proactive Agents: Jev Triggers an On-Call Pi Agent 05:56 Durable Pi Agent Network Playground 07:56 Shared Durable Application State 09:44 Durable Tasks and Human Near the Loop 14:22 Tools Inside Your Durable Pi Agent 20:23 Extend and Customize Every Pi Agent 25:44 Why Build Durable Agents? #agenticengineering #piagent #durableagents
