Vercel launches filesystem-first agent framework Eve
Vercel has launched Eve, an open-source, filesystem-first framework designed to simplify building and scaling durable backend AI agents. Inspired by Next.js, Eve allows developers to define agents, tools, and configurations using simple directory structures that integrate natively with Vercel's serverless and sandboxed infrastructure.
Vercel is applying its successful Next.js formula of convention-over-configuration to AI agents, aiming to become the default hosting and development platform for agentic applications.
* Standardizing agent structure into folders like `tools/`, `skills/`, and `channels/` drastically reduces initial setup overhead compared to low-level frameworks.
* By embedding durable execution (Vercel Workflow) and isolated runtime compute (Vercel Sandbox) natively, Vercel solves the difficult hosting and persistence challenges of long-running agents.
* The deep integration with Vercel's proprietary ecosystem provides a smooth developer experience but also introduces strong platform lock-in.
