Build a Production-Ready YouTube AI Agent with Temporal

We build a deep research agent over the DataTalks.Club podcast archive. The workshop starts by downloading and indexing YouTube transcripts, then turns that ingestion code into a durable Temporal workflow. After the data is searchable, we build a Pydantic AI research agent, add a summarization sub-agent for long transcripts, and wrap the agent run in Temporal too.

The system you will build
The final system looks like this:
The ingestion side has the parts that usually fail in production: network calls, YouTube blocking cloud IPs, proxies, Elasticsearch writes, and long loops over many videos. Temporal gives that side retries, observability, and durable execution. The agent side uses the indexed data to answer questions from the podcast archive and then uses Temporal again so long agent runs can survive failures.
