Chidori is an agent framework that runs async TypeScript agents on an embedded pure-Rust JavaScript engine, recording every side effect (LLM calls, tool calls, HTTP requests) as host calls. This makes every run durable, checkpointable to disk, byte-identically replayable with zero LLM calls, and resumable across process crashes.

Use cases

• build AI agents that survive crashes and resume mid-run
• replay an agent run deterministically without spending tokens on LLM calls
• pause an agent run for human approval and resume days later
• use recorded agent runs as free, fast integration tests
• debug a multi-step agent run that failed deep in execution
• run TypeScript agents without Node or V8 using a single Rust binary

When to choose

• you need deterministic replay and checkpointing for long-running or expensive LLM agent workflows
• you want human-in-the-loop pauses that persist to disk without keeping a process alive
• you want to commit recorded agent runs as regression tests
• you prefer a dependency-free Rust binary over Node-based agent frameworks

When to avoid

• you need a mature ecosystem with extensive integrations and a large community
• your agents must perform side effects outside the recorded host-call boundary
• you primarily work in languages other than TypeScript or Python
