Trigger.dev Chat Agent
Build persistent AI chat experiences on real Linux machines
About Trigger.dev Chat Agent
Chat agent is built for persistent AI chat experiences: sessions run on real Linux machines, support continuous streaming output, and can resume from where they stopped after a page refresh or process crash. Machines sleep without input and wake when input arrives, making them suitable for agent tasks that exceed ordinary request durations; needed tools can also be installed to call ffmpeg, headless browsers, and CLIs that depend on a real file system or process tree. Runs pause while awaiting human approval, and the wait itself is not billed.

The run pauses while awaiting human approval, resumes after the response, and the wait itself is not billed.
