Vercel now builds and deploys eve agents straight from the dashboard
One pass wires an AI Gateway model, a web or Slack chat, MCP tools, and a Git-backed Vercel project. Plus: openai-python's HTTP-client swap breaks installs.

Dashboard in, deployed agent out
Vercel's new agent builder scaffolds an eve app, pushes it to your Git repo, and stands up a Vercel project pre-wired with an AI Gateway model, a web-chat or Slack front end, and MCP connections — no boilerplate to write. It's the same eve framework, now reachable without ever touching the CLI.
Weekend build: a Slack agent that actually does things
Because the builder ships MCP connections and a Slack surface by default, you can stand up a tool-using Slack bot — one that hits your own systems and calls real APIs — in an afternoon, then keep iterating in the Git repo it created. The AI Gateway wiring means one key, automatic fallbacks, and spend tracking across whatever models you route to.
Heads-up: openai-python 3.0 swapped its HTTP client
Trending on Hacker News today: the v3.0.0 SDK now defaults to HTTPX2 (a Pydantic-sponsored fork of httpx) and no longer installs httpx automatically. It also reads TLS certs from your OS trust store instead of bundling certifi — a quiet change that's breaking installs behind corporate proxies. If your CI went red on an openai>=3 bump, pin openai<3 or follow the migration guide.
