Core Concepts
Why Kubiya?
The advantages of deterministic workflows over chaotic AI agents
Why Choose Kubiya?
The Problem with Traditional Approaches
AI Agent Frameworks: Unpredictable Chaos
- Non-deterministic: Same input can produce different execution paths
- Hard to debug: Complex agent interactions make troubleshooting nearly impossible
- Production risks: Unpredictable behavior in critical environments
- State management hell: Agents accumulate state leading to drift
Traditional Orchestrators: Manual Complexity
- No AI capabilities: Everything must be manually coded
- Steep learning curve: Complex DSLs and configurations
- Limited flexibility: Hard to adapt to changing requirements
- Slow development: Every workflow requires extensive coding
The Kubiya Solution
AI-Powered Generation
Natural language to workflow in seconds
Deterministic Execution
Same input always produces same result
Container Isolation
Every step runs in its own secure container
Universal Compatibility
Run any language, tool, or software
Key Differentiators
1. Deterministic by Design
Unlike agent frameworks where execution paths vary, Kubiya workflows follow the exact same path every time.
2. Application Layer Security
- No direct infrastructure access required
- No god-mode Kubernetes permissions
- Complete audit trail of all actions
- Runs in isolated containers
3. AI as a Tool, Not a Controller
4. Production-Ready from Day One
- Built-in error handling and retries
- Comprehensive logging and monitoring
- Rollback capabilities
- Health checks and validations
