Vercel gives eve agents a browser: Chromium, navigate/click/fill

  • A browser in a few lines

    pnpm add @agent-browser/eve, mount it at agent/extensions/browser.ts, and your agent gains namespaced tools — browser__navigate, browser__snapshot, browser__click, browser__fill, browser__screenshot — backed by real Chromium running in the eve sandbox, not your app.

  • It sees the page before it acts

    Snapshots return element refs like @e12 that the model targets precisely, so the agent reads and extracts page content, clicks, fills forms, and watches console and network activity instead of guessing at selectors.

  • Secrets stay on your side

    A domain allowlist limits where the agent can go, and cookies, storage, and auth tokens are hidden from the model — plus output-size caps and optional human approval. You can point an agent at the live web without handing it your credentials.

  • Build this weekend

    A self-hosted research or QA agent that navigates real sites, fills forms, and screenshots the result — scaffold with npx eve@latest init and ship it as a standard Vercel project via vercel deploy.

  • Elsewhere: ISR deploys up to 33% faster

    Vercel says deploys are now up to 33% faster for apps with many Incremental Static Regeneration pages, with the biggest gains on large prerendered sites — a free speedup with no config change.
