vercel-labs/open-agents

An open source template for building cloud agents.

What it solves

Open Agents provides a reference implementation for building background coding agents that can operate independently of a user's local machine. It solves the problem of keeping a browser tab open or a laptop running to complete complex, multi-step coding tasks, by moving the agent's execution and the code execution environment (sandbox) to the cloud.

    A Vercel‑hosted template that lets authenticated users create AI‑driven coding tasks (Claude, Codex, Copilot, Cursor, Gemini, opencode). It spins up a Vercel Sandbox, runs the chosen agent, commits changes to an AI‑generated branch, and shows live logs. Built with Next.js 15, Tailwind, Neon Postgres, and Vercel AI Gateway; supports multi‑user OAuth, per‑user API keys, and optional sandbox keep‑alive for iterative work.
