## AI overview

Temporal introduces reference materials and Code Exchange samples for orchestrating secure, isolated, temporary sandbox compute environments within Temporal Workflows used by AI agents. The materials address interfaces, provisioning, persistence, and cleanup.

## Source excerpt

Standardize how AI agents in Temporal Workflows orchestrate sandbox compute. New Code Exchange samples cover provisioning, persistence, and cleanup.
