Vercel launched eve, a framework in which a software agent is simply a directory of files. Instructions and reusable playbooks are written in Markdown, while tools are TypeScript files that need no registration. It builds in scheduled runs, approval steps for sensitive actions and delivery to Slack, Teams, Discord and the web, and it depends on Vercel's own hosting services.
What changed
Building an agent with durable execution, sandboxes, chat channels and service authentication meant assembling several separate tools.
What it unlocks
Defining an agent as a folder of Markdown instructions and TypeScript tool files, then deploying it to Slack, Teams, Discord or the web with scheduled runs and approval steps built in.
What you need to act on it
- a Vercel account and the Node/TypeScript toolchain
- reliance on Vercel services such as AI Gateway, Sandbox, Workflows and Connect
