Vercel launches eve, an open-source framework that treats agents as directories
Scored daily by a customisable AI persona to surface the most relevant engineering leadership news.
Vercel's eve framework treats agents as directories, a novel paradigm for agent orchestration directly matching interests.
Vercel launched eve, an open-source framework under Apache 2.0 that models AI agents as filesystem directories—each agent is a folder containing a model config (with AI Gateway fallbacks), a Markdown system prompt, and TypeScript tool files where filenames become tool names without registration. Built on Vercel's Workflow SDK, eve provides durable execution with checkpointing, per-agent sandboxed code execution, human-in-the-loop approval for tools, and built-in channels for Slack, Discord, and Linear. Vercel reports 29% of its platform deployments now come from agents, up from under 3% a year ago, and runs over 100 internal agents on eve.
