Summary
Trigger.dev builds an open source platform for creating AI agents and workflows in TypeScript. Founded by Matt Aitken, Eric Allam, Dan Patel, and James Ritchie, who previously built JSON Hero together, they solve the problem of developers being forced to use no-code automation tools or deal with complex API integrations. They handle authentication, retries, queues, and observability while letting developers write tasks in their own codebase with full version control. Eric previously co-founded Code School, which was acquired in 2015.
