Introducing eve — open-source agent framework

What's new

• eve framework in public beta: agent = directory of files (instructions.md, tools/, skills/) compiled to Vercel Functions.
• 6 capability defaults: durable execution on the Workflow SDK, per-agent sandbox, human approvals, multi-channel (Slack, GitHub, Snowflake, Salesforce, Notion, Linear, MCP), OpenTelemetry tracing, evals.
• Vercel Sandbox: max session runtime from 5h to 24h — long-running agents, long test pipelines, data processing.
• Vercel Connect: short-lived tokens instead of long-lived credentials + full audit trail.
• v0 refresh: sandbox-based runtime, import any GitHub repo, auto-pull env vars from Vercel.

Why it matters

Vercel positions eve as "Next.js for agents" — convention over configuration the way Next.js simplified React. For TS-first teams it means agent infra is open-source but the production backbone (Sandbox, Functions, Connect) stays managed.

How to try it

Open source on GitHub + Ship 26 keynote June 17 in London. Sandbox 24h limit is already live for existing projects.
