Summary
On September 10, 2026, AWS released Pizza Bot OSS 1.0.0 under Apache 2.0: a self-hosted, inbox-style interface for long-running background AI agents. Its runtime is built on LangChain's DeepAgents over LangGraph, checkpointing agent state to local SQLite so runs can pause for human approval, survive a disconnected client, and resume without restarting. Tasks can start interactively, on cron schedules, or from authenticated webhooks; it ships desktop apps for macOS, Windows, and Linux plus browser and terminal clients, and supports Amazon Bedrock, Anthropic, Google Gemini, OpenAI, OpenRouter, and Ollama.
What changed
AWS published Pizza Bot as Apache-2.0 open source on September 10, 2026 — a fully self-hosted inbox for background agents with durable checkpointing (DeepAgents/LangGraph, SQLite), human-in-the-loop approvals, and cron/webhook triggers, with no AWS service dependency.
Why it matters
It reframes background agent work as a managed inbox with durable, resumable runs and explicit human approval gates — the operational UX enterprises need to trust long-running agents — and does so as vendor-neutral, self-hostable open source across six model providers.
