DBOS is partnering with Neo Blockchain to support developers building durable AI agent applications. SpoonOS, powered by Neo, is a blockchain-native operating system designed to run intelligent agents that can reason, act, and transact onchain. DBOS and SpoonOS enable developers to coordinate onchain smart contracts with reliable offchain workflows, unlocking powerful new capabilities for autonomous agents.
With DBOS, developers can ensure agents built on SpoonOS are resilient, recoverable, and production-ready, even during crashes, restarts, or extended delays.
What is SpoonOS?
SpoonOS is a new operating system powered by Neo that provides the runtime environment for AI agents. Equipped with a comprehensive toolkit and a rich, fully integrated ecosystem, SpoonOS lays the groundwork for the next generation of AI agents.
Why DBOS Complements SpoonOS
DBOS is an open source durable execution and workflow orchestration library that enables developers to build workflows in Python or TypeScript, with built-in checkpointing. As workflows execute, their state is automatically saved in a Postgres database. If anything goes wrong, the workflow resumes from the last successful point. No retries, replays, or lost state. SpoonOS and DBOS create a complete stack for building AI agents that can operate across both onchain and offchain environments. The execution state history can also be analyzed as observability data to facilitate troubleshooting and auditing.
Building Agents Without vs. With DBOS
Without DBOS
Most agent workflows today rely on serverless functions or stateless scripts. These setups lose progress if interrupted. Developers have to rebuild retry queues and write custom error handling logic to manage failures or delays. It becomes especially painful when agents must react to multiple events over time.
With DBOS
Developers write agent workflows using @workflow() and @step() decorators. Every step is saved automatically, and DBOS makes sure the flow resumes after crashes. You can pause workflows to wait for data, user approvals, or external events. Observability is built in, so developers get visibility into every execution path.
Scaling Intelligence Onchain
SpoonOS is dedicated to building a universal agentic operating system for Web3. DBOS adds the offchain reliability required to make these agents viable in real-world environments.
This partnership supports developers who are building smarter, longer-running, and more capable AI agents in Web3.
