New Agentic AI Framework in CNCF
Hi, I'm a Dapr CNCF project maintainer. We've recently released Dapr Agents which provides agentic AI features together with built-in durable execution to guarantee statefulness and reliable agentic workflows that run to completion and retry upon failure. It runs natively on Kubernetes, has built-in OTEL integration and uses a lightweight architecture where agents scale to zero, allowing you to run thousands of agents on commodity hardware. It'd be great if you can test it out and give us feedback.
New Agentic AI Framework in CNCF launched on March 26, 2025 with 23 votes, #789 of 7,215 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 1 year on.
In plain words
Dapr Agents is a CNCF project that adds agentic AI capabilities to the Dapr framework. It provides durable execution for AI workflows, ensuring they complete reliably and retry on failure. The framework runs natively on Kubernetes with built-in OpenTelemetry integration and uses a lightweight architecture that scales to zero, enabling thousands of agents to run on standard hardware. It is designed for developers building stateful, production-grade agentic AI applications.

CNCF announces Dapr Agents, a vendor-neutral AI framework2025 · github.com · ▲10Hi all, I'm the creator and maintainer of Dapr. Today we announced an agentic AI framework that allows developers to run thousands of agents on a single core that can scale to/from zero with minimal latency, with a durable execution engine that supports automatic retries. Us maintainers would very much appreciate your feedback
Turn any workflow diagram into compilable, running and stateful code2025 · workflows.diagrid.io · ▲109Hi HN folks, I'm a co-creator of the Dapr CNCF project and co-founder of Diagrid. Today we announced a free-to-use web app that takes any form of workflow diagram (UML, BPMN, scribble in your favorite drawing tool or even on paper) and generates code that runs in any IDE and that can be deployed to Kubernetes and other container based systems, based on Dapr's durable execution workflow engine. This essentially allows you to run durable workflows in minutes and leaves out the guesswork for how to structure, code and optimize a code-first workflow app. I'm happy for you to give this a try and…
Evolving Agents Framework2025 · github.com · ▲139Hey HN, I've been working on an open-source framework for creating AI agents that evolve, communicate, and collaborate to solve complex tasks. The Evolving Agents Framework allows agents to: Reuse, evolve, or create new agents dynamically based on semantic similarity Communicate and delegate tasks to other specialized agents Continuously improve by learning from past executions Define workflows in YAML, making it easy to orchestrate agent interactions Search for relevant tools and agents using OpenAI embeddings Support multiple AI frameworks (BeeAI, etc.) Current Status & Roadmap This is…
