Keynote - Ship 26 London
The agent era arrived faster than anyone planned for. Six months ago, fewer than 3% of deployments on Vercel were triggered by coding agents. That number has since grown 17x, and soon more than half of every deployment will come from agents. This is the full morning keynote from Vercel Ship 2026 in London on June 17th. Guillermo Rauch opens on what changes when software can think, then Tomo walks through the agent stack: the AI primitives every agent needs and a new framework that wires them all together. Along the way you will see Vercel Connect issue scoped, short-lived credentials for the systems an agent touches, a production agent built and deployed live in five minutes with the open-source framework eve, Vercel Agent autonomously investigate a production issue then roll it back with approval, and the Vercel Enterprise Platform for governing, observing, and paying for agents once a whole company is running them.
