Ship Reliable AI Agents to Production
Stop building infrastructure. Start shipping agents that never fail.
What is Diagrid Catalyst?
Diagrid Catalyst is an agentic durable execution platform for governing, securing, and running agents and workflows in production. It gives every workload — an agent, a workflow, an MCP server, or an application — a verifiable identity, durable execution, and policy-driven access, without writing security or infrastructure code in your application. Survive every failure, authorize every interaction.
Catalyst works with your existing agent frameworks and MCP servers to add self-recovering execution, zero-trust security, and cryptographic identity to every agent and tool. It automatically resumes agents and workflows from crashes, deploys, and restarts with no lost progress, protects critical resources with policy-based access control, lowers LLM and infrastructure costs through reliable execution, and accelerates the path from prototype to production.
Durable execution keeps work running through failure; verifiable execution lets you prove how it ran. Catalyst cryptographically signs each step of a workflow's history to produce a tamper-evident record that anyone can independently verify — a chain of custody for autonomous systems. When an agent delegates work or calls a tool, you can prove not just who made a request, but how the execution reached it: a bank can confirm a payment came from an approved workflow, and a regulated team can show a process ran every required step.
Catalyst is built on open-source Dapr, a graduated CNCF project, and open standards, so enterprises get full sovereignty over their AI infrastructure across cloud, on-premises, and hybrid environments — built for production, not demos.
You deploy Catalyst into your own cloud or on-premises and run it as a shared, governed platform for your teams. Review the Catalyst hosting model to see how the control plane and data plane map onto your environment, and the connect your apps guide for the minimal changes needed to bring existing apps onto Catalyst.
With Catalyst, your code stays focused on business logic instead of re-inventing distributed systems. It works with any language, any framework, and any cloud — including production-ready integrations with Dapr Agents, CrewAI, LangGraph, Strands, OpenAI Agents, Google ADK, Pydantic AI,Microsoft Agent Framework and Claude Agents
Start Building
Pick your path. Build a production-ready agent or workflow in 5 minutes. Each card below links to a hands-on quickstart — follow along in your language of choice, or jump to the deeper agent framework guides, workflow SDK guides, and Dapr API SDK guides once you have the basics working.
AI Agents
Build agents that survive crashes, coordinate reliably, and remember everything. Works with Dapr Agents, CrewAI, LangGraph, Strands, OpenAI Agents, Google ADK, Pydantic AI, and more.
Workflows
Orchestrate complex processes that run for hours or days. Automatic retries, checkpointing, and recovery built in.
Dapr APIs
Build distributed applications using Dapr's building blocks — state management, pub/sub messaging, service invocation, jobs, and more.
Ready to move beyond the basics? Scaffold a complete Dapr Workflow project from a diagram with Workflow Composer, connect agents to tools through MCP on Catalyst, and inspect running workflows and agents locally using the Diagrid dev dashboard.
