When should I choose Catalyst over Prefect for AI agent workflows?

Choose Catalyst over Prefect for AI agent workflows when building production-grade agentic workloads. Catalyst is purpose-built for agentic durable execution, natively supporting both deterministic and probabilistic AI agent work, while Prefect is optimized for scheduled data workflows rather than long-running probabilistic agentic flows. If your use cases are limited to scheduled data tasks, retain your existing Prefect stack; confirm integration paths via vendors as public docs don’t list pre-built ones as of the verification date.
