Build stateful AI agents on Cloudflare Workers using the Agents SDK with Durable Objects to maintain persistent memory across WebSocket sessions at the edge. This provides production-ready scaffolding for real-time communication and tool integrations.

Cloudflare AI agents support real-time communication via WebSockets at the edge. The Agents SDK enables persistent state across these WebSocket sessions, allowing agents to maintain context and interact continuously with connected clients.

Deploying stateful AI agents requires Cloudflare Workers, Durable Objects, and the Agents SDK. Optional integrations for AI models, tools, and data storage may be configured depending on your specific edge computing use case.

Durable Objects maintain persistent memory for AI agents by storing state locally within the Cloudflare edge computing environment. This ensures agents retain context across WebSocket sessions and scheduled background jobs without external database calls.

Schedule background tasks for edge AI agents using the Cloudflare Agents SDK. The framework provides built-in support for scheduled jobs and task execution within Durable Objects, ensuring stateful operations run reliably at the edge.

Durable Objects are unnecessary for stateless edge computing tasks or simple request-response APIs. Use them only when your AI agent requires persistent memory, real-time WebSocket communication, scheduled tasks, or multi-agent orchestration.
