Diagrid Catalyst is an AI agent and workflow infrastructure platform designed to help developers build and operate reliable production applications. It combines durable workflows, AI agent infrastructure, messaging, state management, security, observability, and deployment options in one platform. Catalyst is built on the open-source Dapr runtime and is designed for developers, platform teams, and organizations working with distributed applications and AI-powered workflows.

For AI agent development, Diagrid Catalyst provides infrastructure for running agents with more reliable execution and state management. It supports popular agent frameworks including LangGraph, CrewAI, Strands, Google ADK, and OpenAI Agents. Developers can use these frameworks while relying on Catalyst for workflow execution, communication, sessions, security, and other infrastructure requirements.

Catalyst also provides durable workflows that can manage long-running processes and coordinate multiple steps. Workflows can combine automated tasks with human approvals, escalations, and other inputs. This makes the platform useful for applications where an AI agent or business process needs to continue operating across multiple stages rather than completing everything in a single request.

Security features include agent and MCP authentication and authorization, workload identity, and secure communication. Catalyst also provides verifiable execution capabilities that help organizations trace agent activity and create records of workflow execution. These features can be useful for applications where teams need greater visibility into how agents and workflows operate.

The platform includes Pub/Sub messaging, state management, service invocation, observability, and workflow visualization. Its deployment options include free Catalyst Cloud, Dedicated Cloud, Bring Your Own Cloud, and Enterprise Server, allowing organizations to choose between managed cloud infrastructure, customer-controlled cloud environments, and self-hosted deployments.

Catalyst Cloud is free for development, evaluation, and non-critical workloads. Paid options start at $1,199 per month for Dedicated Cloud when billed annually, while BYOC starts at $1,599 per month when billed annually. Enterprise Server pricing is customized based on deployment requirements.
