Building AI Agents with Vercel eve
A hands-on, source-grounded course on eve, the open-source framework Vercel launched at Ship 2026 for building durable AI agents as ordinary files. You will learn the filesystem-first mental model, scaffold and run a real agent, author tools, skills, and subagents, reach users through channels, run work on a schedule, and understand the durable runtime, sandboxes, human-in-the-loop approvals, the AI Gateway, and production deploys. Every command, file convention, and API in this course is verified against the official eve docs bundled in the npm package.
What You'll Learn
- The 'agents as directories' model and why eve is filesystem-first
- How to scaffold, run, and iterate on an eve agent locally with the CLI and dev TUI
- How to author tools, skills, subagents, channels, and scheduled tasks as files
- How durable execution, sessions, sandboxes, and human-in-the-loop approvals actually work
- How to configure models through the AI Gateway and deploy an agent to production
Prerequisites
- Comfortable with TypeScript and modern Node.js (Node 24 or newer)
- Basic familiarity with LLM agents (tools, prompts, model loops)
- A terminal and npm; a Vercel account is helpful for the deploy lessons
All courses are free. No purchase required.
