Vercel has released Eve, an open-source framework for building, deploying, and operating AI agents in production. The framework uses a filesystem-based project structure to organize agent instructions, tools, skills, subagents, communication channels, and scheduled tasks, enabling developers to define agent behavior while reducing the amount of supporting infrastructure they need to implement.
