For a decade, Vercel has shaped how the web gets built. Now, we’re doing the same for agents. The companies that win the next decade will build on infrastructure designed for agents from the start, and over 2,500 people gathered in London this week to do just that at Vercel Ship 2026.Link to headingAgentic infrastructure Guillermo kicked off Ship by sharing his vision for Vercel: a true full-stack platform where you can deploy anything, including software that can think. We are deploying software that can think.Guillermo Rauch CEO @ VercelAgentic infrastructure has three parts: Vercel is where coding agents deploy software. When you ask Claude Code or Codex where to deploy, you get Vercel, because Vercel is built for the way agents work.Vercel is where you build and deploy your own agents. We give you every tool you need to build and run apps and agents in production, securely, at scale. Vercel itself is automated by agents. Vercel runs your apps in production, handling traffic, traces, observability, and anomalies. That data gives our agents the context they need to investigate autonomously, and then surface pull requests, not just alerts.Link to headingVercel is for shipping agentsIn the next keynote, Tom walked through each primitive in the Agent Stack, an end-to-end set of building blocks for agents. Hedi introduced Vercel Connect, a secure way for agents to connect with external systems. And Shar gave a full demo of eve, Vercel's new agent framework that implements the Agent Stack in minutes, in a single directory. Link to headingThe Agent StackNo matter the workload, every agent needs to connect to models, run workflows across many steps, and connect to the systems and people that make it useful. Vercel gives you every primitive you need to build all three capabilities. AI SDK gives you one API to call any model, so streaming, tool calls, and structured output work the same across every providerAI Gateway routes your requests across hundreds of models from one endpoint, with automatic failover when a provider goes downWorkflow SDK makes every run durable with automatic retries, state persistence, and observability built inVercel Sandbox gives each agent an isolated microVM to run and test the code it writes before it ships to productionChat SDK lets you deploy your agent across Slack, Discord, GitHub, and more from a single codebaseLink to headingVercel Connect Vercel Connect launched at Ship 2026 in London as the newest building block in the Agent Stack. Connect provides agents with secure access to the tools, data, and services they work with, without requiring a long-lived provider token stored in your environment variables. Your app or agent requests a temporary credential scoped to the one task in front of it, so there’s no standing secret left to leak.
