The Log Is The Agent - Ishaan Sehgal, Omnara

AI Engineer · Jun 25, 2026 · Engineering Insights

An agent's true identity is its append-only log, not the model or runtime executing it.

“The agent is its data. It's specifically the log.”

Omnara CEO Ishaan Sehgal argues that an agent's identity lives in its append-only event log rather than the model or runtime, making the log the durable source of state and resumability. This reframing simplifies agent system design by treating every operation as a read from or append to the log, but it remains a conceptual engineering perspective rather than a major industry-shifting announcement.
