Pickaxe: A TypeScript Library for Building Scalable AI Agents

Pickaxe is a lightweight TypeScript library for building fault-tolerant and scalable AI agents. It handles the complexities of durable execution, queueing, and scheduling, letting you focus on core business logic. It's not a framework; everything is a function, making integration with existing codebases easy. Agents can call tools, other agents, or any functions you define. Built on Hatchet's durable task queue, Pickaxe ensures fault tolerance and recoverability, automatically resuming execution even after machine failures. It supports distributed deployment across various container platforms and offers configuration options for retries, rate limiting, concurrency control, and more.
