## Why Dapr for OpenAI Agents?

| Challenge | Dapr Solution |
|-----------|---------------|
| Agents tightly coupled, hard to scale | **Pub/sub** decouples communication |
| Chat memory lost on restart | **State store** persists agent memory across restarts |
| Custom infrastructure for each deployment | **Portable components** work anywhere |
| No visibility into agent communication | **Built-in observability** traces everything |
