Source Summary

**The gist** Ship 2026 (London, Berlin, New York) laid out Vercel's agent strategy: the **Agent Stack** — AI SDK, AI Gateway, Workflow SDK, Sandbox, Chat SDK — plus **Vercel Connect** (temporary, scoped credentials for agents reaching external systems), **eve**, an open-source agent framework built from markdown instructions and TypeScript tools in one directory, and **Vercel Agent** in public beta, which investigates production anomalies and opens pull requests instead of alerts. Dockerfile support, a container registry, Vercel Services, Passport, and BYOC on AWS rounded out the announcements.

Practical Implication

**Why it matters** If you deploy on Vercel, the primitives you'd otherwise assemble yourself — **durable workflows**, **sandboxed execution**, model routing with failover — are converging into one stack, and **eve** is worth reading as a reference architecture even if you never adopt it.

**Watch out** It's a **recap post** — vision-heavy, with self-reported case-study numbers. Maturity varies: much of the stack is GA, but **Vercel Agent** and Passport are public beta while Security Dashboard and BYOC are private beta.
