## What it is
AutoKitteh is a developer platform for durable workflow automation and orchestration, letting users write workflows in vanilla Python (or Starlark) that run reliably on a Temporal-based durable execution engine. It is self-hostable and API-first, with built-in integrations (Slack, GitHub, Gmail, ChatGPT, etc.), webhooks, schedulers, and CLI, VS Code, and web UIs.

## Use cases
- automate workflows with python code instead of zapier
- run long-running reliable background jobs durably
- trigger python scripts from webhooks or schedules
- build slack and github automation bots
- self-hosted alternative to n8n or make.com
- orchestrate devops and business process automation
- write durable functions without managing temporal infrastructure

## When to choose
- you want code-based workflow automation with plain python
- you need durable execution for long-running or failure-prone tasks
- you want a self-hosted zapier/n8n alternative with built-in integrations
- you want temporal's reliability without its complexity

## When to avoid
- you need a no-code visual workflow builder for non-developers
- you only need simple cron jobs without durability guarantees
- your workflows are in languages other than python or starlark
- you need a fully managed solution and cannot run infrastructure
