Terse

Durable agent infrastructure built with serverless actors and workflows, strongly typed in

Visit Terse

Terse is an open-source infrastructure layer that provides durable state for AI agents, positioned as an alternative to Durable Objects. It addresses the need for persistent, concurrency-safe state in agent workloads, with high memory limits and direct access to SQLite storage.

The platform offers Durable Actors, concurrency safety by default, and direct SQLite storage access. It is open source and available on GitHub, with a counter demo for testing stateful read, write, and actor wake-up latency.

Terse is aimed at developers building stateful AI agent applications. It is open source and distributed through GitHub; no specific plan tiers, trials, or seat-based pricing details are stated.
