Presenters from Temporal and Grid Dynamics define the harness concept, demonstrate durable execution using Temporal workflows, and show a real-world demo combining ReAct and CodeAct patterns to generate a marketing HTML page by scraping Temporal's customer case studies. Key topics include context engineering, guardrails, agent skills, the hybrid ReAct+CodeAct approach, and how Temporal's durable execution handles failures, long-running workflows, and human-in-the-loop approval scenarios. Temporal's 'continue as new' primitive and large payload support for AI workloads are also discussed. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
