VERCEL

A companion guide to the Agents 101 video: a behind-the-scenes walkthrough of building and deploying AI agents fast on Vercel, the agentic infrastructure stack. Here is the map of what to learn and where to go next.

Vercel's eve gives you the agent plumbing - durable sessions, sandboxed code execution, approvals, subagents - as a folder of files. Fable 5 gives you a long-horizon reasoning model. Here is how to wire them together, what it costs, and who the stack fits.

Vercel AI Gateway gives you one API key and string model ids like moonshotai/kimi-k2.5 for hundreds of models. Here is how it works with the AI SDK, what BYOK and OIDC change, the honest tradeoffs, and who should actually use it.

A hands-on, beginner-friendly walkthrough of building an AI agent with Vercel eve: scaffold the project, define an agent and a typed tool with defineTool, run it locally, call it through the durable session and stream API, and deploy to Vercel Functions.

At Vercel Ship 26 in London on June 17, 2026, Vercel shipped a wave of agent-era tooling: the open-source eve agent framework, Vercel Drop for drag-and-drop deploys with no Git or CLI, spend caps for AI Gateway API keys, and the HarnessAgent API in AI SDK 7 that unifies Claude Code, Codex, and Pi behind one interface.

Vercel launched eve at Ship 26, an open-source agent framework it calls Next.js for agents. You define each agent as files under an agent/ directory, and eve compiles it into a production app on Vercel Functions with durable execution, sandboxes, approvals, subagents, and evals built in.

Vercel just declared the agent stack: AI Gateway, Sandbox, Flags, and Microfrontends. Here is how the four primitives compose, with code, and where each one actually fits in a real product.

Durable execution lands on Vercel. What it means for agents, long-running flows, and indie dev stacks - with code, gotchas, and where it fits the agent stack.
