What does Trigger.dev do?

Trigger.dev is a developer platform that lets you build complex, long-running AI workflows and agents directly in TypeScript. Think of it as a robust backend for AI operations—it handles tasks that might take seconds, minutes, or even hours to complete, like autonomous research agents, multi-step media processing, or chained AI prompts. You write the logic in familiar code, and Trigger.dev manages the execution, ensuring everything runs reliably without hitting timeout limits.

What sets it apart is its focus on production-ready features. It automatically handles retries if something fails, provides full observability into each task's progress, and scales elastically based on demand. You can integrate with existing Node.js SDKs and tools, create human-in-the-loop workflows for approval steps, and stream AI responses directly to your frontend. The platform supports tool calling with various AI models, parallel execution, and sophisticated orchestration of multiple agents working together.

This is built for developers who need to implement complex AI logic beyond simple API calls. It's perfect for building automated research assistants, content moderation systems, marketing email sequences, or data processing pipelines. If you're creating an app that requires reliable, long-running AI tasks with full visibility into each step, Trigger.dev removes the infrastructure headaches so you can focus on the actual AI logic.
