Vercel, the internet.
Vercel is a hosting service. It takes the folder on GitHub and runs it online, so your agent and your review page work when your computer is off. It also runs the schedule that starts the Monday run, and it keeps your keys safe.
What you get
- Your agent online, with its own link.
- Your review page online, in your brand.
- The Monday clock, running without you.
How it fits in your agent.
What it is
A hosting service for websites and agents. Vercel also makes eve, the framework your agent is built with.
What it does for your agent
Runs it online, holds the keys, and fires the schedule.
When you touch it
Session 3, to deploy. After that, only to add or change a key.
The one idea.
Deploy means put it online. Once your agent is on Vercel, every Monday run happens there, not on your computer. Your computer can be off, asleep, or at the beach.
What you'll do with it.
- Make a free account with your GitHub login.
- Connect your repo. Deploy is one click after that.
- Paste each key into Vercel's settings, never into a file.
- Set the schedule. Monday, 8am.

Where to go next.
GitHubWhere your agent's files live online. A cloud folder for code with a history of every change. Push is upload. Pull is download. That's most of it.4 min readRead →SupabaseYour agent's memory.

Small lookup tools called actors read public pages, like a company's LinkedIn page. It never signs in as you. A small test costs cents.4 min readRead →
