About Chidori
Chidori is a reactive runtime built in C for constructing durable AI agents. It provides an execution environment where agents react to events and state changes, ensuring persistence across restarts. The runtime is open-source and maintained by the community under ThousandBirdsInc.
Best for
Developers who need a lightweight, durable runtime for reactive AI agents and are comfortable working in C.
Use cases
- Building long-running, stateful AI agents that survive crashes
- Orchestrating reactive workflows triggered by external events
- Developing low-latency agent systems in resource-constrained environments
