## AI overview

The article explains how Temporal Workflows and Activities can make multi-step AI features durable when workers restart or networks, APIs, databases, file systems, and user actions fail. It focuses on recovering without duplicate work, lost state, wasted resources, or reduced user trust.

## Source excerpt

Ship AI features that survive real-world failures. Learn how Temporal Workflows and Activities make multi-step LLM and tool chains durable--so restarts, timeouts, and rate limits don't cause duplicate work or lost state.
