4 things worth building with @pidotdev's Pi Durable + @CloudflareDev Durable Objects: #1 Durable agents for high-stakes workflows Pi Durable can identify interrupted operations and avoid automatically replaying unsafe calls. Imagine an agent refunding a customer, then crashing before it gets confirmation. You don't want it refunding the customer twice. Pi Durable checkpoints each step, recording the intent to execute a tool call and whether it completed. After a crash, it knows which operations were interrupted. Unsafe calls aren't blindly retried, so your app can check whether the payment went through before proceeding. #2 Shared team agents Pi Durable + Cloudflare Durable Objects are a great foundation for multiplayer agentic coding. A Durable Object holds the persistent agent state. Multiple clients can connect to the same session, incoming messages are queued or used to steer the agent, and updates are streamed to everyone. Imagine an agent picking up a GitHub issue and working on a PR while teammates watch or steer the same conversation from their phones, browsers, or terminals. @pidotdev's shared-chat tutorial demonstrates this. #3 Agents that run anywhere @badlogicgames built a Pi Durable Android app that runs the agent harness and stores its state locally on his phone, while model calls happen remotely. Pi Durable separates agent state from execution, with pluggable storage and execution backends. The harness can run anywhere there's a compatible JavaScript runtime, and its tools can execute on another machine. Your durable agent doesn't need an always-running terminal or cloud server just to preserve the agent's state, the harness can run locally, on a phone, or in the cloud. #4 Build new tools on top of agent state This is the one we're most excited about. Pi Durable persists structured tasks, checkpoints, and interrupted operations. That means you can inspect an agent's execution state without asking the model to reconstruct what happened. We experimented with putting Pi Durable inside a Cloudflare Durable Object and visualizing its stored state without waking the agent. Imagine using that data to build: - Debugging dashboards showing exactly where an agent crashed. - Reliability metrics showing which tool calls repeatedly fail or need recovery. - Multiplayer dashboards showing pending tasks, who steered an agent, and when. The interesting part is that durable execution state becomes a new primitive you can build tools on top of, not just something used for crash recovery. 00:00 What is Pi Durable? 07:06 Idea 1: Durability for high-stake workflows 13:16 How to build with Pi Durable 16:31 Durable storage: local vs. cloud 19:46 Pi Durable + Cloudflare Durable Objects 32:20 Idea 2: Multiplayer agents with shared state 35:01 Idea 3: Running the harness on a phone 37:45 Idea 4: Inspecting persistent agent state 🧵👇 Links to YouTube, Apple Podcasts, and Spotify below.

cybersecurity startups trying to raise funding right now

My small investigation, for whoever cares, about the protests in France. First, it looks like the movement was somewhat general and vague, similar to the yellow vest movement. Mostly a "ras-le-bol" (fed up) led by students (lots of movements are started by students as usual) but also from normies who feel squeezed by the raising costs of living. It seems like the protests escalated because of a number of things, number one reason might be that numerous videos of extreme police brutality were recorded and shared and that angered/radicalized lots of people. Some people also believe that the following conspiracy theory: the left is becoming too powerful, so the current government barely supervised the current protests in order for them to blow up. Macron (the president) blamed the extreme left. It seems to me, after my small investigation, that all parties here have some responsibility in what happened. The police went too far, the current administration didn't manage to oversee the protests well (perhaps on purpose), and the extreme left radicalized some people (including some people who ended up burning buildings and such). Lots of peaceful protesters as usual (lots of videos show how good the vibe was sometimes), and then radicalized people who escalate, and then opportunists who break/steal things during the confusion/chaos. You can support the movement, respect the right to protest, understand the power of people taking the streets, while also condemning excesses. BTW big protests in France are pretty common, I've lived through some when I was younger where cars were being burned everywhere (started due to police brutality on immigrant communities), from what I've heard the 1968 student demonstrations were INSANE as well. As someone from the outside it might appear crazy, but often this is localized and easy to avoid unless you're at the wrong place at the wrong time. You won't realize that a protest took place in most of the city the next day. It's crazy, but not as crazy as what you might think if you just watch the news. Every time these things happen the extreme right loves to farm and market their whole anti immigration stance. Sure there's lots of immigration in France, as a second-gen immigrant lots of my friends were second-gen immigrants as well (algerian, tunisian, iranian, lebanese, russian, chinese, japanese, etc.). I was never bothered by it, I'm actually proud to have such diverse friends, I'm not sure why people are bothered by it tbh. From what I understand it's mostly extreme right people who have a hard time accepting other cultures (and when they're religious, they have an especially hard time accepting other religions). Yes you have to be careful with immigration, you have to provide support and make sure they integrate and succeed. This is a hard problem. This is not a left or right issue. We don't live in a vacuum. Empathy helps. That being said, the current protests are pretty diverse, I find the extreme right talk about immigration to be mostly about farming. It's sad that people fall for that marketing. What I can say is that French people are trying to figure things out, if you're not French and judging us maybe go and touch some grass in Paris to understand what people are fighting for, to understand the upside of cultural diversity, to understand you're probably being brainwashed by whatever bubble you're in. I wish Americans would protest the current government like that.
