Details
Building on its decade of experience transforming how the web is built, Vercel is now focusing on building infrastructure for AI agents. At Vercel Ship 2026 held in London, CEO Guillermo Rauch presented his vision of a full-stack platform for deploying 'software that can think.'
Vercel's definition of Agentic Infrastructure consists of three core pillars.
- Where agents deploy: Provides an optimized environment for coding agents like Claude Code to deploy software.
- Building and operating agents: Provides tools to run agents safely and at scale in production environments.
- Automation by agents: Vercel itself is operated by agents, which investigate issues on their own based on traffic and observability data and create Pull Requests.
The Agent Stack and key tools designed to accelerate agent development were also unveiled.
- AI SDK: Calls various models through a single API, providing unified management of streaming and tool calls.
- AI Gateway: Routes requests to hundreds of models and supports automatic failover in the event of a failure.
- Workflow SDK: Ensures workflow durability through automatic retries, state persistence, and observability.
- Vercel Sandbox: Provides isolated microVMs where agents can run and test code.
- Vercel Connect & eve: Supports secure connections to external systems and helps implement agent frameworks within a single directory.
