Vercel launches eve, an open-source framework for building and scaling AI agents

Summary

Vercel has introduced eve, an open-source framework for building, running, and scaling AI agents. Currently in public preview, eve treats an agent as a simple directory of files — the smallest agent requires just two files (a model and instructions). Adding tools, skills, channels, or schedules is done by adding files, which eve automatically wires in at build time without boilerplate. The framework includes built-in features like durable execution, sandboxed compute, approvals, and evals. Users can scaffold and start a new agent with a single command that installs dependencies, scaffolds the project, and starts a dev server.
