About Trigger.dev

Trigger.dev is an open source background jobs framework and platform for building fully-managed AI workflows and agents directly in TypeScript codebases. It enables developers to run long-running AI tasks, handle complex background jobs, and build AI agents with real-time monitoring, streaming, and human-in-the-loop waiting points without managing infrastructure. Founded in 2022 and backed by Y Combinator (W23), the company raised a $16M Series A in December 2025.
