Hatchet supplies only the pause and resume. It has no approver inbox, notification channel or record of who answered, and its MCP server cannot push the event.\n\n**Orkes Conductor Human tasks.** Escalation chains with a time limit per assignee and a choice of leaving the task open or failing the workflow. No built-in Slack or email prompt, so alerts need a trigger policy and a second workflow.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Hatchet\n\n1. Put the approval wait in a durable task, and keep API calls, database reads and random values in child tasks, because the code between checkpoints is replayed\n2. Add a sleep condition in the same or group as the event condition to set a deadline, and treat the sleep firing first as a timeout\n3. Give the event a scope and the wait a lookback window when the answer can arrive before the wait starts. Both must be set together\n4. Filter with a CEL expression such as `input.user_id == '1234'` so one approval key cannot resume another request's task\n5. Push the answer with the SDK's event push or `POST /api/v1/tenants/{tenant}/events`. The MCP server has no tool for it\n6. Grant the MCP server one profile with `hatchet mcp auth --grant \u003cprofile\u003e`. It refuses profiles that were not granted\n\n### Orkes Conductor Human tasks\n\n1. Give every assignment you want to escalate from a non-zero `slaMinutes`, since 0 never expires and nothing can follow it\n2. Pick `TERMINATE` for risky actions so an unanswered approval fails the workflow instead of staying open to anyone\n3. Start approval workflows with an `idempotencyKey` and `RETURN_EXISTING`, so a retried start doesn't ask twice\n4. Refresh the JWT from `/api/token` with a set expiry instead of requesting one that never expires\n5. Fetch single doc pages, not llms.txt, which is the whole documentation in 2.57 MB\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Hatchet or Orkes Conductor Human tasks?\n\nHatchet scores 68.3 (B) on agent readiness against Orkes Conductor Human tasks's 54 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories. Orkes Conductor Human tasks leads on security \u0026 auth.\n\n### Are Hatchet and Orkes Conductor Human tasks open source?\n\nYes. Hatchet is open source (MIT). Orkes Conductor Human tasks is open source (Apache-2.0 (Conductor OSS and SDKs), proprietary (Orkes Conductor)).\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hatchet-vs-orkes-conductor.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/hatchet-vs-orkes-conductor.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"hatchet\", \"b\": \"orkes-conductor\"}`.
