AI in GTM at Notion — Flora Liu

Flora Liu from Notion's GTM engineering team discusses transforming a fragmented Go-to-Market system into a unified, agent-driven platform. She details how Notion tackles challenges like dispersed customer data and unstructured insights by building a four-layered architecture (Know, Decide, Act, Learn) where humans and AI agents operate on the same substrate, leveraging Snowflake, DynamoDB, and Notion itself to create durable, self-improving workflows and boost sales and marketing effectiveness.

Stateless, Yet Durable: MCP Tasks v2

Cornelia Davis explores the evolution of MCP Tasks, detailing the transition from v1 to v2. She highlights how v2's stateless protocol design supports durable, long-running agentic workflows by shifting durability responsibilities to the client and simplifying elicitation. The presentation includes a demo of a purchase order process and discusses future scalability enhancements through a notification-based approach.

MCP Tasks (async): Why Aren't Any Agents Supporting Them? — Cornelia Davis, Temporal

Cornelia Davis explains why the MCP tasks specification, designed for durable, long-running, and interactive operations, hasn't seen widespread adoption. She details V1's architectural flaws, particularly concerning scalability and stateful human-in-the-loop interactions, and introduces V2's shift to a stateless core, client-initiated updates, and a clearer path for client-side durability, while outlining future work on scaling and adoption.

Write Reliable Software with Temporal

Johann Schleier-Smith from Temporal explains Durable Execution, a paradigm for building reliable, long-running applications. He details how Temporal's model of deterministic workflows and stateful activities provides a robust alternative to traditional checkpointing and event-driven architectures, especially for complex, LLM-driven agentic systems.

Scaling AI Agents Without Breaking Reliability — Preeti Somal, Temporal

Preeti Somal from Temporal explains that as AI agents move to production, they face significant reliability and scalability challenges. She introduces Temporal as a platform to abstract away this complexity, allowing developers to build robust, stateful AI agents by focusing on business logic instead of infrastructure plumbing like retries and error handling.
