# AXME

**Durable execution for AI agents and services.**
**Durable execution for AI agents and services - workflow orchestration with built-in human approval gates, agent crash recovery, and multi-agent orchestration. No cluster required.**

Submit work once. The platform drives it to completion through crashes, retries, timeouts, and human approval steps.
Submit work once. AXME drives it to completion through crashes, retries, timeouts, and human-in-the-loop steps. A managed Temporal alternative with durable execution without cluster setup, an agent kill switch, and an agent monitoring dashboard out of the box.

## The Problem
## Why AXME?

- AI agents block forever waiting for human approval - no reminders, no escalation, session dies
- Agent crashes mid-task - state is gone, start over from scratch
- Webhook retry is everyone's problem - backoff, jitter, DLQ, HMAC, idempotency
- Multi-agent coordination across machines - most frameworks only work in one process
- Temporal is overkill for 80% of use cases - cluster, determinism constraints, no built-in HITL
- Agents in production with zero visibility - no health checks, no cost tracking, no way to stop a misbehaving agent
- **Human approval gates that survive for hours** - AI agents block forever waiting for human approval - no reminders, no escalation, session dies. AXME provides built-in human-in-the-loop task types that wait as long as needed.
- **AI agent crash recovery** - agent crashes mid-task - state is gone, start over from scratch. AXME preserves intent state across restarts so work resumes, not restarts.
- **Webhook retry is everyone's problem** - backoff, jitter, DLQ, HMAC, idempotency. AXME handles delivery guarantees so you don't.
- **Multi-agent orchestration across machines** - most frameworks only work in one process. AXME provides an agent coordination protocol that works across services, languages, and clouds.
- **Temporal alternative without the overhead** - Temporal is overkill for 80% of use cases - cluster, determinism constraints, no built-in HITL. AXME gives you durable execution without cluster setup.
- **Agent monitoring dashboard and kill switch** - agents in production with zero visibility - no health checks, no cost tracking, no way to stop a misbehaving agent. AXME includes a real-time agent monitoring dashboard and an agent kill switch out of the box.

## How AXME Compares

| | DIY (webhooks + polling) | Temporal | AXME |
|---|---|---|---|
| Polling | Yes | No | No |
| Webhooks | Yes | No | No |
| Human approvals | Custom build | Possible (heavy) | Built-in (8 task types) |
| Workflow code | Manual state machine | Required (deterministic) | Not required |
| Agent monitoring | Custom build | No | Built-in dashboard |
| Cost controls | No | No | Per-agent policies + kill switch |
| Setup | Low (but fragile) | High (cluster + workers) | None (managed) |
| Lines of code | ~200 | ~80 | 4 |
## AXME vs Temporal vs Inngest

| | DIY (webhooks + polling) | Temporal | Inngest | AXME |

| Polling | Yes | No | No | No |
| Webhooks | Yes | No | Yes (event-driven) | No |
| Human approval gates | Custom build | Possible (heavy) | No | Built-in (8 task types) |
| Workflow orchestration | Manual state machine | Required (deterministic) | Step functions | Not required |
| Agent monitoring dashboard | Custom build | No | No | Built-in |
| Agent kill switch | No | No | No | One-click isolate |
| AI agent crash recovery | No | Replay-based | Retry-based | Intent-state durable |
| Multi-agent orchestration | No | Possible (complex) | No | Native agent coordination protocol |
| Human in the loop | No | External | No | 8 built-in task types |
| Setup | Low (but fragile) | High (cluster + workers) | Medium (functions) | None (managed) |
| Lines of code | ~200 | ~80 | ~40 | 4 |

## What You Can Build

**Backend teams** - approval flows, long-running API orchestration, replace polling and webhooks.
**Backend teams** - workflow orchestration for approval flows, long-running API coordination, replace polling and webhooks.

**AI agent builders** - human-in-the-loop that waits hours not minutes, multi-agent pipelines with handoffs, production durability across restarts, framework-agnostic (LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, raw Python).

**Platform teams** - one coordination protocol instead of webhook-polling-queue stack, simpler than Temporal.
